Echo & The Bunnymen – The Artist
Echo & the Bunnymen are an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1978. The original line-up consisted of vocalist Ian McCulloch, guitarist Will Sergeant and bassist Les Pattinson, supplemented by a drum machine. By 1980, Pete de Freitas joined as the band’s drummer. Their 1980 debut album, Crocodiles, went into the top 20 of the UK Albums Chart. After releasing their second album, Heaven Up Here, in 1981, the band’s cult status was followed by mainstream success in 1983, when they scored a UK Top 10 hit with “The Cutter”, and the album which the song came from, Porcupine, hit number 2 in the UK.
Rescue – The Song
Rescue is the second single released by the band Echo & the Bunnymen. It was released on 5 May 1980 and subsequently included on the Crocodiles album, which was released on 18 July 1980. It was the band’s first single to chart, reaching number 62 on the UK Singles Chart. It was also their first release on the newly formed Korova label. On the single’s release, Smash Hits described it as “attractive left field pop” that had “sparse guitaring reminiscent of early Cure and plenty of deadpan melodic bite”.
