Echo & The Bunnymen

Echo & The Bunnymen

ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN. British post-punk band formed in Liverpool in 1978. Their 1980 debut album "Crocodiles" met with critical acclaim and made the UK Top 20. Their second album, Heaven Up There (1981) again found favour with the critics and reached No10 in the UK Album chart. The band's cult status was followed by mainstream success in the mid-1980s. They scored a Top 10 hit with "The Cutter" and the attendant album, Porcupine (1983) reached No2 in the UK. Their next release, Ocean Rain (1984) continued the band's chart success and has since been regarded as their landmark release spawning the hit singles ; The Killing Moon / Silver and Seven Seas. One more studio album, Echo & The Bunnymen (1987) was released before Ian McCulloch left the band to pursue a solo career in 1988. The following year, Pete De Freitas was killed in a motorcycle accident and the band re-emerged with a new line-up. This new incarnation of the band released Reverberation in 1990, but the disappointing critical and commercial reaction it received culminated with a complete split in 1993. Original members regrouped in 1997 and returned with the UK Top 10 hit Nothing Lasts Forever. An album of new material, Evergreen was greeted enthusiastically by critics and the band made a successful return to the live arena.....
