Swedish garage punk quartet Division of Laura Lee emerged in the mid- to late '90s, assembled out of spare parts in the Swedish hardcore music underground. Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Per Stålberg, guitarist David Ojala, bassist Jonas Gustavsson, and drummer Håkan Johansson, DOLL was soon playing shows wherever it could. The band debuted on wax in 1998, issuing the There Is a First Time for Everything EP, and a split release with the American post-hardcore group Milemarker. Another split EP followed in 1999 from Car Crash, this time with Impel.
