Mike released the ‘Light At The End of the World’ album in 1996.Ī flock of seagulls never really broke up. Ali and Frank left in the years afterward. The band, now a trio, released the album Dream Come True in 1986.
Mike and Ali moved to the US shortly after basing themselves out of Pennsylvania. Next, the band released 1984’s The Story of a Young Heart, which spawned the minor hit ‘ The More You Live, The More You Love‘ shortly after Paul Reynolds left the band. ‘ Wishing’ was taken from the group’s second album, Listen, in 1983. In the U.K., ‘I Ran’ didn’t make the Top 40, but ‘Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)’ reached number ten later that year in America, that single became a Top 40 hit in 1983, after ‘Space Age Love Song’ peaked at number 30. The single climbed into the American Top Ten, taking the album along with it. ‘I Ran (So Far Away)’ was released as the first single from the album, and MTV quickly picked up on its icily adorable video, which featured long shots of Mike Score and his distinctive, cascading hair. The band signed a major-label contract with Jive by the end of the year, and their eponymous debut album appeared in the spring of 1982. The group released its debut EP on Bill Nelson’s Cocteau Records early in 1981, and while the record failed to chart, its lead track, ‘Telecommunication,’ became an underground hit in Euro-disco and new wave clubs. Hairdresser Mike Score (lead vocals, keyboards) formed The Flock of Seagulls with his brother Ali (drums) and fellow hairdresser Frank Maudsley (bass) in 1980, adding guitarist Paul Reynolds several months later. They grew out of the synth-heavy and the ruthlessly stylish new romantic movement. Nevertheless, The Flock of Seagulls were one of the prime movers in the 80’s new wave era.
The Flock Of Seagulls may well be known for their bizarrely teased haircuts as much as for their hit single ‘I Ran’. The band has already issued several videos for songs with titles such as " The Blood of Jesus" and " Do You Wanna Go to Heaven." They also have a Wacko X Cancer Christ 7" split that you can pick up here.The band, best known in the industry for their heavily synthesized new-wave era musical style, debuted in 1981 and has released albums until the late 1990s and as recently as 2021. God fucks the hardest and he’s ready to fuck the world, whether you believe or not." I stand to let all those bitches know that God bitch slapped Lucifer out of heaven and only then did that punk-bitch become Satan. "I stand for all the would-be scum that never considered Jesus an option," says the musician, adding, "For the millions of demon worshippers that think Satan is tough or sick or down. The band's leader, Anthony Melhaff, told No Echo in a 2021 interview, that after living a life of sin and darkness, he decided to serve punk rock in the name of faith.
We accept all: black, white, gay, straight, trans and all others that wish to fight evil wherever it spews its putrid and vile wickedness." They also share an inclusive message stating, "The mission of Cancer Christ is to find lost souls to take up arms in this new and uncertain heavenly body. Cancer Christ understands evil must be fought with true words and even truer actions fire must be met with fire, darkness must be met with searing and powerful holy light." Cancer Christ is the imperfect vessel to wage a holy war against those who wish to profit from a dying prophet’s words. Our bleak existence needs a new, stronger word of God. So who are Cancer Christ and what are they all about? The band's website reads, "Cancer Christ has seen the ailing not too distant future of this godless world.
