Echo & the Bunnymen's dark, swirling fusion of
gloomy post-punk and Doors-inspired psychedelia
brought the group a basketful of British hits
throughout the '80s, while attracting a sizeable cult
following in the United States. BREAKING THE
BACK OF LOVE is a celebration of their nearly 25 years
together capturing the group’s most brilliant moments.
Touring in support of 2005's SIBERIA, Ian McCulloch
and Will Sergeant are spot-on throughout this 12-song
set at Shepherds Bush Empire in London. Lead singer
McCulloch's signature swagger still captures the urgency
and poetry of Jim Morrison while Sergeant, whose
musicianship has improved vastly over the years, shines
throughout the set. An essential collection for those who
have witnessed the splendor of Echo live and a needed
document of their great repertoire.
