The Psychedelic Furs are an English post-punk and new wave band, formed in London in 1977. Notable for their blend of punk rock ethos with a more melodic, artful aesthetic, the band is fronted by Richard Butler, whose raspy, emotive vocals became a defining feature of their sound. Their 1980s hits like "Pretty in Pink" and "Love My Way" have left an indelible mark on pop culture, with the former even inspiring a John Hughes film of the same name. The Psychedelic Furs' influence can be traced in the work of many subsequent rock and alternative bands.
