A Flock of Seagulls is an English new wave and synth-pop band formed in 1979. The band achieved significant success in the early 1980s, and they are perhaps best known for their hit single "I Ran (So Far Away)."
"I Ran (So Far Away)" from their debut self-titled album became an international hit and is often associated with the sound of the new wave era. The band's music is characterized by synthesizers, catchy melodies, and distinctive hairstyles that were emblematic of the 1980s.
While "I Ran" is their most well-known song, A Flock of Seagulls released several albums during the 1980s, including "A Flock of Seagulls" (1982), "Listen" (1983), "The Story of a Young Heart" (1984), and "Dream Come True" (1986). Their music often features a blend of new wave, synth-pop, and elements of post-punk.
A Flock of Seagulls continues to tour and perform, and their influence on the synth-pop genre has left a lasting impact on the music landscape.
