Bunnymen from its founding in 1978, lavishly illustrated with numerous

Underground. A major force in English post-punk, the band remains an

1978 to the present. It documents in heady detail the forces that gave
rise to the group, their early stumbles and successes, and the qualities
that have kept them in the musical limelight.
This exhaustive critical history and biography is lavishly illustrated
with 200 color and black-and-white photos, and includes the complete
lyrics of Ian McCulloch and hundreds of quotes from the Bunnymen, their
fans, and their critics.
