Psychedelic Furs
British new wave
The Psychedelic Furs are a British rock band formed in London in 1977, known for their post-punk sound blending angular guitars with atmospheric synthesizers.

The band, led by singer Richard Butler, helped define the sound bridging punk's raw energy with new wave's polish.
