Asia & BJ, you'll love their "The Killing Moon"!! New wave/post-punk

[@sean3691]

Agreed

[@bryozoa23]

Good Rec!

[@marzzlanzz1687]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@anthonyv1719]

One of the best vocalists of his generation. "KILLING MOON" is their haunting classic single.

[@shawnk7832]

Aaahhh. The Killing Moon.... 😁

[@jamesgonzales5285]

👊🏼 Ian McCulloch👍🏼

[@timothyharwood1941]

Thank you for reaction. Echo and the Bunnymen are so underrated. If you want more Echo and the Bunnymen you should check out The Cutter, Killing Moon, Bring on the Dancing Horses. Each song is unique and shows you a different side to them.

[@PK-gi2qh]

One of the best English bands in history. Long live the Bunnymen.

[@sonicart1808]

The guitarist is Will Sergeant and I think he's playing a Fender Stratocaster on this...."Killing Moon" is an amazing song by them & well worth listening to..... great reaction guys and funny as usual!

[@jazzminb]

You should also try their songs "Killing Moon", "seven seas", "the cutter", "bring in the dancing horses"

[@safromnc8616]

The Breeders, Veruca Salt, Letters to Cleo, REM, Siouxie and the Banshees, The Church, Janes Addiction....& all the ones GoldBlooded said...lol

[@cafebravo75]

Thank you for playing. Love this jam. I dig your reactions. Keep up the good work.

[@josepha5885]

I've danced to this song at goth clubs in the 80's. Good times.

[@thomascroft5076]

Ian McCulloch - Vocals & Guitar, Will Sergeant - Lead Guitar, Les Pattinson - bass guitar, Pete De Freitas - Drums.

[@johnsrensen3366]

From the beatles hometown liverpool another fine band from the 80s im still a fan

[@laurakali6522]

Psychedelic Furs, Howard Jones, Roxy Music, Joe Jackson, Flock of Seagulls, and Adam Ant. Lots of good stuff from that time.

[@anthonyv1719]

I would add BRYAN FERRY early solo work with Johnny Marry - Kiss and Tell, etc.

[@greatestscott6599]

What a list, for surem

[@barbaralindsey9587]

Roxy Music ❤

[@jollyj3285]

No end to their great songs ...one of my favorite bands of the 80s.....The Cutter, Never Stop, Rescue, The Killing Moon, Seven Seas

[@ericschneider118]

Try "Killing Moon" Or "Bring On The Dancing Horses" !! This guy could sing!! On of my favorite 80's Bands. Very underrated. Thank You

[@jamesgonzales5285]

Killer Summer 87 Tune!!! This dirt road country boy loved this tune! Maybe, because of the girls.😉

[@TheAquaponic1]

This is my mid teens soundtrack to my life. My favorite era by far. You need more of all of this era. gj

[@Lisse1]

Echo & the Bunnymen, a post punk English band & quintessential 80s. But worth mentioning that Seal does a nice cover of this song.

[@xoxxobob61]

Does he really? I love SEAL but never knew he covered this Song! Thanks for the heads up!

[@bdmention]

Can't believe it's been 34 years since I saw them.

[@galenstone9097]

This band was everywhere in my club days:)

[@jaquettajones]

THE CUTTER is a MUST Echo and The B men Reaction! #banger

[@jamesgonzales5285]

Must add, I respect musicianship, and this Band definitely had it. 👍🏼

[@xoxxobob61]

The instrumentation going on in this Song is incredible!

[@triphophoney2981]

Asia, I love how you sing "Sugar Kisses"! As a side note, I've had no less than three guys dedicate that song to me. 😌

[@stevenanderson912]

This Liverpool boys had a sweet sound in the day 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 👌🏻

[@Splitscreen83]

Love Echo and the Bunnymen. Real tone of Bowie i in this one 😎👍

[@johntrickey4188]

Such an understated band. Ian McCullough voice, the late Pete DeFritas drums, Will Sargent guitarist, Les Patttison bass, marvelous band.

[@RandomJane104]

Finally Echo & The Bunnymen. They sadly don't get enough recognition in the US. Thanks for reacting to them. 🐇 ❤️ They started with a psychedelic post-punk sound and went a little new wave. The lead singer's own lips are pretty sweet. He was quite the looker back in the day.

[@Ritaholden1]

I absolutely love this song!. No mistaking the era this comes from. It is the perfect 80"s sound. Gosh it takes me back. ❤️

[@avenueb]

the end of the 80s dance era for me this song 3am dancing with my friends screaming "lips like sugar!! sugar kisses!!!"

[@scottvanhille5688]

Thanks for listening to this song guys! It's my favorite from them. "The Killing Moon" is another popular one from them.

[@lakermd]

You guys should do. The cult. She sells sanctuary. For me it’s a good 80’s alternative driving song. Vrooooom

[@markb1114]

Kinda had a futuristic vibe.

[@joesmith8725]

Yall should've watched the actual music video. Strange, alien like video. Cute mix race girls dressed like outer space girls, too. lol Echo and the Bunnymen were for sure alternative rock. They were a very good '80s, and early'90s new wave/post-punk, gothic rock, dance-punk , shoegaze/psychedelic rock from the UK. The shoegazy (fuzzy pedal, amps effects, ethereal sounding) guitars is what yall are hearing. They play their songs at underground night clubs. See more of Echo and The Bunnymen videos/songs "Heads Will Roll", "The Cutter", "Nothing Lasts Forever", ", "Show of Strength", "Bringing on the Dancing Horses", etc The talk singing style is common in post-punk, new wave. Its' similar to another new wave/post-punk band U2 (Bono), David Bowie, The Doors (Morrison....Echo and the Bunnymen were influenced by them), Psychedelic Furs (new wave/post-punk) , Simple Minds (new wave), Talking Heads (new wave, post-punk), The Cars (new wave, post-punk), and others. Good ears both of yall! They were huge on college /underground/alternative radio stations. And late night videos on MTV alternative music TV shows like 120 Minutes, Alternative Nation and Cutting Edge during the '80s and early '90s. They were inspired by Velvet Underground (proto-punk group), Roxy Music, David Bowie, The Doors and others. Similar groups to them are Psychedelic Furs, Killing Joke, Sioxsee and the Banshees, The Smiths, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Clan of Xymox, Joy Division, The Cult (early stuff), The Church, The Chameleons, The The, Coldplay, Interpol, Arcade Fire, The Killers, Flaming Lips, Modern English, early U2 , and others.

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here...Great New Wave Rock!!" U2 ARE 2 CUTE WITH THE 💋 KISSES CONVERSATION!!!!!..Thanks for the Awesome reaction!!

[@jazzminb]

To me the song is about the possibility of being with the girl, the realization she's not interested and then being left alone with nothing but his own reflection

[@brianvernon249]

I missed this band entirely. Thankfully, my wife filled me in 5 years ago when this song ( and dancing horses) got stuck in her head. The video & the planet heads - too much cheese even for the 80’s

[@kd2009]

great choice on this one, whoever requested!

[@lantzkeefer6]

I bought this on vinyl so long ago,lol.I heard about them from a rockumentary called URGH a music war,it was a complimation of new wave,punk,rock band's from the late 70's,80's.This song came later on in their career.

[@anabellelei8540]

URGH! A Music War was amazing! That was the Echo I loved. Early Echo!

[@lantzkeefer6]

@@anabellelei8540 It was, since I haven't watched it for a long while I think that it's about time to watch it again.Damn I spelled it wrong thanks for the clarification,😊

[@anabellelei8540]

@@lantzkeefer6 no! I knew exactly what you meant and just meant to commiserate. It is an essential watch for anyone who loves post punk, surf punk, art rock, new wave. Cheers!

New Wave rules!✌️😊💜

[@marvelharris9540]

loved this song back in the day

[@bigboss6867]

Eighteen years ago when I was a young dumb kid I met a woman who I thought to be the love of my life. I got my fair share of sugar kisses from her, but she only left me laughing at how I broke and melted into a lake; all while she'd flown to the shores of another. December 2005, my friends took me to a club and heard this playing. My life changed that night for the better, thanks Echo and the Bunnymen.

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here..."You need to go home with all of that"...Love Your Quick Wits. Asia That was Hilarious 🤣❤

[@willfromyadkinville]

i think it was considered post punk but i loved it! thank you guys for bringing it! i just love music!

[@michellethompson726]

My all time favorite band

[@grahamthetraveller]

BJ loving the Blue Jays hat I am a UK Blue Jays fan and Echo & the Bunnymen are a great choice you gotta listen to Killing Moon and Dancing Horses by them

[@jerryhinds6009]

The song is referring to "Cocaine". Lots of sugar kisses in the 80's. Ian is the singer and he had a little liking to the Ya Yo! As many musicians did in the 80's. New Wave was the genre in the 80's 🙏❤️✌️

[@metalmark1214]

In modern day they substituted sugar with Splenda 😂

[@NicMarie2015]

Early to mid- 80's new wave, alt rock. Love them!! ❤❤

[@sonnyjames8922]

One of the greatest songs of all time . . . From 1987. Thanks!

[@peteryarnold9707]

My favourite band. More please

[@162berto]

Woo lord after listening to Asia’s reaction to this song I’m so glad I was in my 20’s in the 80s When young women were raised by women who went through the women’s rights movement and the sexual revolution Because the women I knew back in the day were sexually confident and just as likely to hit on a guy in a club as any man would hit on a women And as far as the song goes He’s talking about Sugar Kisses something sensual Unlike today’s music talking about sex with women in the most vulgar way calling the hoes and B’s and throwing them away like garbage after they’re finished "Beating it up" I guess Asia applying today’s lyrics to a song made in the 80’s Now ask yourself what sounds better Sugar Kisses or I Slapped and tapped that @. $$ and then threw the hoe in the trash??? Cmon now!!!

[@gsly6081]

I agree

[@sarablack2547]

Back in the 80's and before in music love and sex were separated and there were different types of love sung about like for a friend or parent or Ben. Now when they sing about love they mean sex cause to them it's the same thing and their all a hoe in the bed or expected to be a hoe or think that's what the guy wants.it used to be if you broke up you sung about heartbreak and being stronger next time or telling him to walk out that door and leave his key(I will survive)they didn't sing about punching first before he walked out that door. now the woman artists if it's a brake up song sing about if he cheats saying I'll make friends with the police captain so when I set fire to your house he won't suspect me.they get aggressive like that's equal rights or how to show your strong.

[@johnhargreaves4689]

I love how you both love the Bunnymen

[@sofi3uzumakilight_wolfcana714]

I love Echo. Brazil congratulation....

[@mcolford]

You guys are so cute. I love watching your reactions.

[@jaemyrick5277]

A trippy song. A SEXY song. I like the lead singer. Echo and the Bunnymen are very very underrated. Sultry lyrics, lips like sugar, sugar kisses.

[@jonahpedersen5429]

This has been a guilty pleasure for me since the 80s.

[@flea1683]

All the cool kids liked the Bunny men back in the day.

[@jamesgonzales5285]

18 years old. Finishing up my 4th year of my first paycheck job, before beginning a new phase of my life with a combat deployment unit in the U.S. Army. 2 tours in Iraq later, a beautiful family, and 36 years later, this song still sounds incredible. 🙏🏼

[@stephensmith3708]

Home-boy is getting the means, yo! And Soul Princess is getting soulful of what LOVE is yo! BLESS YOU BOTH!!!!! SEMPER FI, OORAH AND AMEN! MAY YAWEH BLESS YOU BOTH!!!!

[@mahalkolico]

The Cutter also a great classic

[@Ritaholden1]

I love watching you two. Thank you so much !

[@cgrist7000]

This song is soooo nostalgic to me and defines the 80’s, at least for me!

[@Blonde_Somnambulist]

Ah ! You discovered my band 😆

[@VICTOR-uj1xn]

This version was not the studio version its not as good but still enjoyable.

[@zziicckk01]

This was a massive club hit, with a great hook.

[@MJ-fm4wy]

Lets not forget even Seal did his own version too.

[@roevega9902]

I love Ian’s voice

[@nomisnestral6956]

I wanna see you both in a goth club.

[@steveeverett1736]

I'm not sure if they ever released much in Canada but the only one I remember is Spare Us The Cutter, have you guys reacted to that one?

[@xoxxobob61]

"The Cutter" was released in the US on New Wave / Alternative Rock stations and was a huge Hit back then.

[@michaeldidio1394]

Try "DO IT CLEAN" live at Albert Hall 1983.

[@beaufreeman700]

I highly suggest you listen to Silver

[@marzzlanzz1687]

try listening to Bring On The Dancing Horses

[@jackthelad5366]

Erm how come no one's mentioned "the back of love "

[@duncantanguay4820]

Like hip hop !!

[@bryanforis1839]

Lead singer he builterand play music great in concert live band concert

[@VercingetorixIV]

He thinks he has a chance for a kiss but every time he gets close she moves away. At the end it’s just him in a mirror and his (his Siamese twin) with only his reflection to kiss.

[@ElkayEQ]

Too fun :)

[@jamesyoung8360]

Brilliant

[@lakermd]

This song is in reference to cocaine. Mirror kisses. He’s hooked on cocaine. Like so many were in the 80’s 🤣

[@xermanganime]

Bring on the Dancing Horses, their best and biggest hit, jus sayin

[@michaelgentile8570]

Good stuff on the reaction. Sounds quality still suffering lately. Not sure what's up with that

[@duncantanguay4820]

Well teardrop explodes is better from the erar of Liverpool at the time but can't get there klf was the managers of bands at the time

Ah, Ian McCulloch my pretend boyfriend when I was 14

[@soninobaloni4064]

I believe this song is about cocaine addiction . ?

Absolutely terrible audio, will never get a true representation without best quality. Grew up with this song.
