Song of the Day - October 20, 2005

The Birthday Massacre immediately brings to mind bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees and Ultravox. They excel at combining 80's style synthesizers with a layered guitar sound that is very appealing. I very much enjoyed this gothic style aural treat influenced by echoes of the 80's. "Happy Birthday" is one of the best tracks on their most recent release Violet. The guitar and synthesizer riff that introduces the song has been bouncing around my skull all week. It is time to break out the all black attire and do a little dance to The Birthday Massacre's "Happy Birthday." Of course, some of us never abandoned that all black wardrobe. Whatever you wear, I am sure you will enjoy The Birthday Massacre. Click here to listen.
