The English post-punk band formed in 1978 in Liverpool and has had various member changes throughout the years. The current line-up consists of original members Ian McCulloch (vocals, guitar), and Will Sergeant (guitar) joining Gordy Goudie (guitar), Stephen Brannan (bass), Jez Wing (keyboards) and Nick Kilroe (drums).

Echo & The Bunnymen’s twelfth studio album Meteorites was dropped in 2014 via 429 Records and proved that the band had evolved its sound while staying true to its musical roots. Some of the group’s best-known earlier songs in the U.S., were “The Killing Moon,” “Lips Like Sugar” and “Bring On The Dancing Horses.”
