My Ruin is essentially a solo project of Tairrie B. (formerly of Tura Satana). The group's first recording was a 1999 EP, featuring a cover of "Tainted Love." That EP was followed shortly by the first full album, Speak and Destroy. The follow-up, A Prayer Under Pressure of Violent Anguish saw its release shortly after Speak and Destroy (preceded by the single "Beauty Fiend.") The current lineup for My Ruin is Tarrie, Mick Murphy, and Meghan Mattox. A third album, To Britain with Love...And Bruises, was released only in the U.K. ~ Gary Hill
