Pioneers of post-punk, Echo & The Bunnymen have been a major influence for many iconic groups such as, Coldplay, The Killers, Garbage, The Flaming Lips, Hole and many more with their seminal albums ‘Crocodiles’, ‘Heaven Up Here’, ‘Porcupine’ and ‘Ocean Rain’. 

Their later albums ‘Evergreen’, ‘What Are You Going To Do With Your Life?’ and ‘Flowers’, ‘Siberia’, ‘The Fountain’ & ‘Meteorites’ continue to demonstrate the truly exceptional body of work the band have created.
