Echo & the Bunnymen and Warpaint

Echo & the Bunnymen, formed in Liverpool, meld dark post-punk with psy-rock. Fronted by Ian McCulloch and guitarist Will Sergeant, they gained fame with hits like "The Killing Moon" and "Lips Like Sugar." With albums like *Ocean Rain* and *Meteorites*, they've charted in the UK and US. Despite drummer Pete de Freitas' death, McCulloch and Sergeant's bond endured. Known for cinematic soundscapes, they've collaborated with producer Youth and earned critical acclaim for their moody, introspective style.
