About AFOS
A Flock Of Seagulls may well be known for their bizarrely teased haircuts as much as their hit single “I Ran”. They were one of prime movers in the 80’s new wave era. Growing out of the synth-heavy and ruthlessly stylish new romantic movement. Hairdresser Mike Score (lead vocals, keyboards) formed A Flock Of Seagulls with his brother Ali (drums) and fellow hairdresser Frank Maudsley (bass) in 1980, adding guitarist Paul Reynolds several months later.
Their eponymous debut album appeared in the spring of 1982, with “I Ran (So Far Away)” released as the first single, and MTV quickly picked up on its icily attractive video. The single climbed into the American Top Ten, taking the album along with it.
‘Wishing’, taken from the group’s second album, Listen in 1983, reached number ten later that year; in America. The band released 1984’s The Story of a Young Heart which fielded the minor hit ‘The More You Live, The More You Love’. Shortly after Paul Reynolds left the band.
Mike and Ali moved to the US shortly after basing themselves out of Pennsylvania. The band now as a trio released the album ‘Dream Come True’ in 1986. Ali and Frank left in the years afterwards. Mike released the ‘Light At The End of the World’ album in 1996.
In 2003, the original line-up of Mike, Ali, Frank, and Paul reunited for a one-off performance on the VH1 series Bands Reunited. In September 2004, they reformed again and did a brief tour in the United States. From 2004 to 2017 Mike was as busy as ever touring the band around the world. In 2018 the band appeared on record together for the first time since 1984.
