Sieg Heil were a duo consisting of Ryan Dawson and Alexis Cooper. They released their first single, "Opposites Attract" in October 2006. The song reached the top ten. A follow-up single, "They Won't Really Know" was released in the new year, and was just as successful. The duo were due to release their third single, "Stars Burn Out" and their debut album Damage Control, but both were cancelled. They were rescheduled a couple of months later, but mysteriously disappeared off of the release schedules once again.
Asylum[edit | edit source]
In September 2007, Alexis returned to the scene with news of a solo career. She made many enemies with Ryan's friends and others, due to her sharp tongue and bitchiness. She released her critically-acclaimed debut solo single "Rockstar", which was released November 19. The single outcharted Ryan's, peaking at #3 and was eventually certified gold. Alexis was nominated for Best Newcomer, Best Banner, Best Video and Best Songwriter at Urapopstar Awards 15.
Her second single "Asylum" and her debut album of the same name were both released in January 2008. Both reached number one, with the album staying there for three weeks. They were later certified platinum.
