Bunnyman: Post-War Kid to Post-Punk Guitarist of Echo and the Bunnymen by Sergeant, Will

Will Sergeant is a founding member of seminal post-punk band Echo and the Bunnymen. If songs like "Bring on the Dancing Horses" and "Lips like Sugar" do not ring a bell, Echo and the Bunnymen are all over the soundtrack of television show Stranger Things. The band also featured in the classic movie Lost Boys, including a cover version of The Doors' People are Strange with Doors member Ray Manzarek on keyboards. This book is the first time Sergeant has told his story. It begins with his childhood and concludes when Echo and the Bunnymen sign their first major record deal. His writing is filled with humor, eccentricity, social and musical history, and provides a detailed glimpse not only into the birth of the legendary post-punk band, but also post-WWII England, the effects of Thatcher-ism, English rock, the beginnings of punk rock, and the coming of age story of a true multi-media artist.
