Paul Heaton

Their first album was called "Crocoldiles" which was released in 1980 and made the UK Top 20, which was great news for the band whilst starting out. Their second album "Heaven Up Here" that came out the following year reached number 10 on the UK Album Chart.

Their popularity grew suddenly in the mid 1980s with the song "The Cutter" and the album "Porcupine" which reached number two in the UK, making them a bigger figure in the music industry.

For many years the group was actually called Electrafixion but they returned as Echo & the Bunnymen in 1997 to release their UK Top 10 hit called "Nothing Lasts Forever", to the delight of their fan base.

Although band member Les Pattinson went on to leave the group, McCulloch and Sergeant continued to make music and later released the albums "What Are You Going to Do with Your Life?", "Flowers", "The Fountain" and "Meteorites". "Meteorites" was released in 2014 in the UK and later on in the US. It was produced by Youth, who actually co-wrote three of the tracks from the album, as well as playing bass.

Later on in the same year, Sergeant and Les Pattinson formed together under the name of "Poltergeist" and also released the album "Your Mind Is a Box" in June, which was received well by fans.
