Echo & the Bunnymen's McCulloch Unplugs for SPIN
Watch the charismatic frontman perform four acoustic songs, including Echo's classic "The Killing Moon"!

"This is fun, isn't it?" mused Echo & the Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch during his recent acoustic set at SPIN's NYC office for staffers and invited friends. "I just wish we knew more songs!"
But McCulloch's stripped down performance of four career-spanning Echo cuts absolutely sufficed -- especially since his band won't be touring the U.S. anytime soon.

Echo & the Bunnymen: Heaven Down Here
Thirty years ago, Echo & the Bunnymen helped spark a Liverpool scene in sad decline since the Beatles broke up, rubbing black-clad elbows with the likes of U2 and Joy Division, and inspiring Coldplay and Arcade Fire. As they prepare to release their 11th album, Marc Spitz takes a walk on the Merseyside with post-punk's dark romantics.
