Echo & the Bunnymen are an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1978. The original lineup consisted of vocalist Ian McCulloch, guitarist Will Sergeant, and bassist Les Pattinson. In 1980, Pete de Freitas joined as the band's drummer. Their debut album, Crocodiles, was released in 1980 and reached the top 20 of the UK Albums Chart. The band’s second album, Heaven Up Here, followed in 1981. They achieved mainstream success in the UK in 1983 with the single 'The Cutter,' which reached the top 10, and the album Porcupine, which peaked at number 2 in the UK. Ocean Rain, released in 1984, continued their chart success, with its lead single 'The Killing Moon' entering the top 10. After releasing a self-titled album in 1987, Ian McCulloch left the band and was replaced by singer Noel Burke. In 1989, Pete de Freitas died in a motorcycle accident. McCulloch and Sergeant later worked together as Electrafixion, and in 1997, they reformed Echo & the Bunnymen with Pattinson. Pattinson departed in 1998, and the band has since toured and released several albums.
