The Psychedelic Furs are an English rock band that formed in London in February 1977. The band was founded by lead vocalist Richard Butler and his brother, Tim Butler, on bass guitar. They emerged from the British post-punk scene, with their sound evolving from austere art rock to include elements of new wave and hard rock.
The band achieved several hits in their early career. In 1986, their song “Pretty in Pink” was featured in the film of the same name by filmmaker John Hughes. The Psychedelic Furs went on hiatus after concluding their tour in 1992 but resumed performing live in 2000. Their album, Made of Rain, released on July 31, 2020, marked their first studio album in nearly three decades.
