The Killing Moon

The boys from Liverpool formed in 1978 after the explosion of the post-punk movement in the mid 70's (The Saints, Ramones, The Clash are names you may know). For all you younger varieties, alternative rock owes quite a bit to the post-punk era.

Echo and the Bunnymen were introduced to me I think when I was about 14 years old by Stephanie Papworth- god bless your cotton socks girlfriend!

The Killing Moon appears on the album Ocean Rain (1984). The song is featured on two of my favourite movies- Grosse Pointe Blank and Donnie Darko. The song has been covered by Pavement, Nouvelle Vague and our own Something for Kate.
