The Birthday Massacre — Where to Listen on the Radio

The Birthday Massacre (abbreviated TBM) is a Canadian rock band formed in 1999 in London, Ontario and currently based in Toronto. The current lineup consists of lead vocalist Sara 'Chibi' Taylor, rhythm guitarist Michael Rainbow, lead guitarist Michael Falcore, keyboardist Owen Mackinder, drummer Philip Elliott, and bassist Brett Carruthers.

The band was originally named Imagica, inspired by the 1991 fantasy novel Imajica by Clive Barker. In 2002, they changed their name to The Birthday Massacre after one of their earlier songs, in order to avoid confusion with another group. The song "The Birthday Massacre" was then renamed "Happy Birthday". According to their vocalist Chibi: "It kind of works well for the music that we're making. Sort of contrasty, you know? Birthday, and massacre. Light, and dark. Cute, and evil."

The band has released ten studio albums: Nothing and Nowhere (2002), Violet (2005), Walking with Strangers (2007), Pins and Needles (2010), Hide and Seek (2012), Superstition (2014), Under Your Spell (2017), Diamonds (2020), Fascination (2022), and Pathways (2025).

They also issued the DVD Blue (2005), the live album/DVD Show and Tell (2009), the demo album Imagica, and the EPs Violet (2004), Looking Glass (2008), and Imaginary Monsters (2011).
