The Psychedelic Furs
Soundscapes of the 80’s, Unfurling Timelessly
While they may not have invented rock & roll, The Psychedelic Furs helped redefine it—staking out a unique place in music history where post-punk grit meets romantic introspection. Emerging from the UK’s explosive post-punk scene in the late ’70s, the band—led by the unmistakable voice and poetic lyrics of Richard Butler, alongside his brother and bassist Tim Butler—quickly became essential listening for a generation of alternative and college radio fans.
The Furs delivered a string of enduring anthems, including:
“Love My Way”
“Pretty in Pink”
“Heaven”
“The Ghost in You”
“Heartbreak Beat”
Over the years, they’ve released eight acclaimed studio albums, a boxed set, several compilations, a live concert DVD, and helped inspire one of the most iconic teen movie soundtracks of all time with Pretty in Pink.
Their 2020 release, “Made of Rain,” marked a triumphant return—charting globally and becoming their second-highest UK album to date. Critics worldwide named it one of the year’s best, proving the Furs’ creative spark still burns bright.
But it’s on stage where the band truly thrives. Known for their electrifying live performances, The Psychedelic Furs have headlined legendary venues from Glastonbury Festival to Radio City Music Hall, London’s Royal Albert Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry.
With timeless songs, a captivating stage presence, and a legacy that continues to grow, The Psychedelic Furs remain one of the most vital and influential bands of their era—still touring the world and thrilling fans new and old.
