The album quickly established the band on radio in Europe and was a No. The Psychedelic Furs' debut, a self-titled album released in March 1980, was produced by Steve Lillywhite. By 1979, this line-up had expanded to a sextet with Vince Ely replacing Wilson on drums and John Ashton joining as a second guitarist. The band initially consisted of Richard Butler (vocals), Tim Butler (bass guitar), Duncan Kilburn (saxophone), Paul Wilson (drums) and Roger Morris (guitars). The word psychedelic was chosen to separate the band from punk rockers who ostentatiously scorned the legacy of 1960s rock music. They later vacillated between calling themselves the Europeans and the Psychedelic Furs, playing gigs under both names before permanently settling on the latter. The band was initially called RKO, then Radio. Richard Butler stated that the Psychedelic Furs began rehearsing in his family's front room, but were soon banished because of the noise. The band released Made of Rain, their first studio album in nearly three decades, on 31 July 2020. They went on hiatus after they finished touring in 1992, but resumed in 2000 and continue to perform live. In 1986, filmmaker John Hughes used their song " Pretty in Pink" for his film of the same name. The band had several hits in their early career. Their music went through several phases, from an initially austere art rock sound, to later touching on new wave and hard rock.
Led by singer Richard Butler and his brother Tim Butler on bass guitar, the Psychedelic Furs are one of the many acts spawned from the British post-punk scene. The Psychedelic Furs are a post-punk band founded in London in February 1977.
