==Info==
Trauma Doll was a short-lived Goth band formed by ex-members of Einsteifen , Dog Ugly and Uncool Frank . The band were initially billed as Cheyne-Stoker in the run-up to the first gig, but played under the name Bastard Lovechild on the night.
With Tree on vocals, comparisons to Einsteifen were inevitable, but some songs had a bluesy Sabbath groove that moved them beyond such comparisons.
