The Pop Group's second album, "For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder?", is a dense, challenging work that further fractured the conventions of post-punk. Its radical political stance and uncompromising sonic exploration alienated some fans but solidified the band's unique place in music history.
- The album was recorded in a mere two days at Gooseberry Studios.
- It featured guest appearances from musicians associated with the experimental jazz scene, including members of the 70-piece Sun Call ensemble.
- Upon its release, the record received a one-star review in Melody Maker, a rare but notable dissenting opinion.
The Pop Group formed in Bristol in 1977, blending elements of punk, funk, and free jazz into a confrontational sound. At the time of this album's release, they were at the forefront of the post-punk movement, pushing boundaries with their experimental approach.
