It seems to be the banner for the Hustle site, not just the article about Echo & The Bunnymen.
I was never a fan of Icehouse, but liked their earlier incarnation as The Flowers

I was never a fan of Icehouse Me neither, but I recognised the singer's face from their TOTP appearance about 40 years ago. He looks a bit like Rick Astley |

Icehouse - can only barely remember them. Were they any good?
Echo and the Bunnymen were a superb band. How U2 got more famous than them is one of the many musical travesties

A review of Will's book
t.co/813c4gTLlz?amp=1
One of the key lines in Will Sergeant’s memoir Bunnyman is the last one, where the seminal guitarist notes that his band’s remarkably effortless rise from arty, provincial post-punks with a malfunctioning drum machine to a major label band in less than a year could lead to him, Les Pattinson, Ian McCulloch and the about-to-join drummer, Peter de Freitas, “turn into a gang of arrogant pricks.”
Outside of being screamed at by Annie Lennox for a parking incident, it’s as close as this memoir sails to the glorious and strange world the Bunnymen created for the pop-music buying public in the 1980s. Those looking for the wider, glitzier arc of Echo & the Bunnymen’s story will have to look elsewhere....
