  A Flock of Seagulls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Formed in Liverpool, England in 1980 by Mike Score, his brother Ali Score, and friends Frank Maudsley and Paul Reynolds, A Flock of Seagulls was a British New Wave band that gained popularity in Europe and the U.S. in the early 1980s.
Lead guitarist Paul Reynolds left the band soon after the release of the 1984 album The Story of a Young Heart due to some personal problems, and the remaining band broke up after the release of their 1986 album, Dream Come True, which had originally been planned as a Mike Score solo album.
In November of 2003, the original line-up (Mike and Ali Score, Paul Reynolds and Frank Maudsley) reunited (albeit with a noticeable lack of hair, especially on poor bald Frank's part) for a one-time performance on the VH1 series, Bands Reunited.

When this, the Flock's explosion of a debut album, was released in 1982, "I Ran" started with a bang (literally, one drum stroke followed immediately by the first guitar note), not with the slow cutesy fade-in that someone inflicted upon it when they released the CD version much later.
The Flock's first self-titled debut and their second "Listen" are more similar to each other than either is to "Story of a Young Heart": that is, both of the first two are uncompromising early 80s new wave.
The first Flock of Seagulls album may not be as groundbreaking as early Devo or as quirky as the first couple of Wall of Voodoo albums, but it is a great document of new wave and of pop music in general.

 A Flock Of Seagulls
It didn't take much musical training or talent to program a drum machine and sing to synth, though it did take a bit of effort to craft a look and sound that was original - or odd - enough to get noticed by record companies, and then by the record buying audience.
The band, founded by hairdressers Mike Score (better known for his sloping haircut than his singing) and Frank Maudsley, and Score's brother Ali, was a late product of the Liverpool music scene that produced such hard hitting pop acts as Echo and the Bunnymen and The Teardrop Explodes.
A Flock of Seagulls was initially criticized in their native land for their desire to become US pop stars, but they would make a mark on the UK charts after the release of their second album with the top ten single "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)".

While the new album sported a noticeably slicker, funkier, and even more polished sound (if that can be imagined) than After Eight, RCA quickly found that getting anyone to so much as look at a copy of Let’s Face The Music was about as easy as trying to sell Christmas trees in April.

A third album, 1981’s Sticky George, which leaned more towards the 60’s influences and away from the synth textures (without completely forsaking them), disappeared virtually on release, and ended The Korgis’ tenure with their label, Rialto Records.

Though now considered little more than a punchline, thanks largely to singer / songwriter Mike Score's appallingly goofy haircut, Liverpool's A Flock of Seagulls were actually a more than credible technopop band whose success during the early days of MTV paved the way for a number of other seemingly uncommercial bands.
Aside from a dance mix and a 1985 single, the rest of the 12 tracks come from the band's two excellent early albums.

On their 2nd album, the boys of Sequel made a bit of a style change...hair was grown longer, guitars slung a bit lower, and one couldn't help but notice a harder musical edge being honed - one that cut right to the top of Portland radio in the early 80's.
