The Psychedelic Furs

The Psychedelic Furs are an English band formed in 1977 that emerged from the post-punk scene and later incorporated new wave and art rock elements. Their sound pairs jagged, chiming guitars and driving rhythms with Richard Butler's distinctive baritone vocals and literate, often moody lyrics, yielding a blend of angular rock textures and melodic, pop-leaning arrangements associated with late 1970s and 1980s alternative music.
