The Birthday Massacre
The Birthday Massacre’s 2005 album, Violet, made waves with eerie alt-new wave that featured two synthesizers and a guitar freak—dancing around each other. The Canadian goth-rockers smooth out dark wave’s rougher edges with soaring riffs that blast through with rocking energy, much as they have on subsequent albums that take even further forays into the poppier side of spook-rock. The band’s 2007 release, Walking With Strangers (arguably its most popular effort), sounds like Ladytron with less Kraftwerk and more Siouxsie, and 2010’s Pins And Needles continues to further refine the group’s dark, dancey dirge-pop. A remix album, Imaginary Monsters, was released this year.
