Genres: Alternative / Indie, Rock
Sound description: Motley Crue meets The Cure
City: Dallas, TX

The Vanished formed when Kevin Kirkwood and guitarist Dallas Perry joined up with long-time childhood friends Justin Young and Phil Helms. They released their debut album, Favorite Scar, in 2004. The first single, "Favorite Scar," became the #1 song on Dallas radio station KDGE 102.1 in fall 2004.
The band pushes the live experience on stage to the point where band members have been at risk of life and limb. "Justin broke his hand at a show, Dallas has lost several ounces of blood from splitting his thumb open, a wound that will not heal, on his guitar during shows and I've chipped my front tooth on a collision with my microphone and a fan’s head in the front row," admits Kevin Kirkwood. "Our drummer is the only member who has been able to avoid bodily injury during a show," he grins, adding, "We are all waiting for him to spontaneously combust."

Answer is, jtmbls, I don't have an answer yet. I've written the band for more information. When I find something out I'll definitely let you know.
