The enduring visual image of A Flock of Seagulls is one featuring Mike Score’s distinctive hairstyle, a swept-forward do reminiscent of a cockatoo. Positioned behind a futuristic synthesizer, Score fronted the band on MTV hits like “I Ran,” “Space Age Love Song,” and “Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You).” Beyond the unique look of the group, A Flock of Seagulls helped usher in New Wave as a commercial and cultural force. By the middle of the decade, the band broke up, but by ’98, they had reformed and resumed touring. 2024’s Some Dreams introduced a clutch of new songs.
