In honor of this day!

It's the day before our new album is officially released so in honor of June 10th, I decided to dig out a couple never before seen photographs from the My Ruin vault. These were taken by my longtime friend and photographer Paul Harries in 1999 when I was in London shooting the video for 'Terror' (which he directed). We shot some footage for what was to be a second video that same day but in the end, we decided not to release it. Looking back at an old photo can bring so many memories both good and bad depending on how you view it within your mind at the time. Years ago this photo would have reminded me of a person I used to know who I wrote the song 'June 10th' about but today, it simply reminds me of me -- the woman formerly known as Miss B.
I've written and recorded 8 albums with My Ruin over the years and each one holds a special place in my heart. I've grown as an artist but have always stayed true to myself and my art. Being in the music industry you open yourself up to having to deal with an endless parade of countless assholes, disappointments and misery. There have been many days that I've wanted to walk away because it has never been easy.

That being said -- I've never been in it for the money or the fame, I've been in it for the music and this is why I remain. I am also blessed to have a husband and guitar player who feels the same. There would be no My Ruin without the music of Mick Murphy. I spill the blood with my lyrics but he is the soul of the band and the champion of our independent spirit.

Tomorrow 'The Sacred Mood' will be available worldwide and I hope those of you who are family, friends and fans of our band will continue to show us your rock love and support the music we make by purchasing a copy of our new album via iTunes & Amazon and thank you.
