Massacre was founded in 1980 in New York City by guitarist Fred Frith, bassist Bill Laswell and drummer Fred Maher as an improvising and experimental rock band. They performed live for just over a year and recorded a studio album, Killing Time (1981). Frith and Laswell reformed Massacre in 1998 with drummer Charles Hayward, and released four more albums, Funny Valentine (1998), Meltdown (2001), Lonely Heart (2007) and Love Me Tender (2013).

It's difficult to imagine anyone with a taste for unusual rock & roll not being seduced by this rough gem of an album. Massacre reunited, though with a different drummer, in 1998 to record My Funny Valentine on the Tzadik label.
