The Psychedelic Furs

The Psychedelic Furs is a British rock band that became prominent in the late 1970s and 1980s. The band was founded in 1977 in London by brothers Richard and Tim Butler, along with several other members who contributed to the evolving group over the years. They gained international attention with their 1981 album "Talk Talk Talk," which featured the hit song "Pretty in Pink." This track was later used in the 1986 John Hughes film of the same name, further propelling the band's popularity. Known for their post-punk and new wave style, they released several successful albums throughout the 1980s, including "Forever Now" and "Mirror Moves." The Psychedelic Furs' influence can be seen in bands from the alternative rock scene that emerged in the 1990s. They continue to perform and record music, maintaining a loyal fanbase worldwide.
