Paul hated the industry and had a breakdown, hes the youngest of the 4 and looks the oldest by a lot. The other 3 tried to continue but things fell apart without paul(the best musician) frank and ali found other things to do instead of struggle on tour. Afos exists as it does now because mike never gave up after trying to reform. Now he tours without the other 3 but he built that format and was key to other 80s bands being able to perform now.

I met Reno in a pub in Sunderland 11 years ago. I was 26 at the time and he was shocked anyone so young would recognise him. We spent a good few hours chatting. He was with his girlfriend and I was with mine at the time. He bought us all drinks and told us stories of being on tour and playing with the Police. He gave me his autograph which he wrote in lipstick and eyeliner. To say it was a highlight was an understatement, he influenced my guitar playing so much as a teenager and I told him about some relevant bands of the time that used his same echo, delay, distortion sound/technique ie Les Savy Fav. Thanks Paul. You are an underrated guitarist by miles and a lovely dude. To see this band back together means so much to me as Paul, in meeting him, said it was unlikely. One of the best debut albums ever and a look and sound that will last longer than all of us put together. Massively underrated band but that also makes them so special. x

Paul is quiet and unassuming while the others big it up, but he was the one who made their sound. Without him on guitar they wouldn't have been nearly as big. An under-appreciated creative genius, all the best to you Paul!

I recently introduced my 10-year old son to A Flock of Seagulls. I was in a restaurant a few months ago, and over the din of the crowd, I heard Space Age Love Song, and it brought back so many memories for me growing up in the 80's. I bought the Best Of album, and my son asks to listen to it in the car every day.

I was in my teens and remember Aurora Borealis was the most futuristic/ethereal sounding word in a song. Paul Reynolds super brilliant and very underrated guitarist I think.. he made the trademark seagull "call" sound with his guitar. Wishing If I Had a Photograph of You the album/CD and MTV was the ultimate A Flock of Seagulls for me.

My next door neighbor and I would always watch MTV at her place and the music videos for “I Ran,” “ Space Age Love Song” and “Wishing” were unforgettable. I’m looking forward to the new album.

I had the opportunity to meet Mike Score back in August of 2000 after a show at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach. Wang Chung and Gene Loves Jezebel were also on the bill, although I went to see AFOS. The show was not very well attended and when I looked back during the GLJ set, Mike was just standing in the back all alone watching them. I approached him and introduced myself and told him how much I loved their music. He was an extremely nice and gracious guy and talked to me for quite some time. Great guys. Great music. Glad to see them doing something again.

Mike Score used to cut my hair in the late 70's early 80's. Mike if you read this, it was in the grotty little salon above a shop in Whitechapel, Liverpool. I seem to recall Frank Maudsley being there too. I have a feeling you also used the salon as either a store for your music gear and a practice room.

This is so weird. I was all over music at that time going to as many shows as I could afford. But I never gave these guys the time of day because of the hairdo, Pauls glasses, and what they wore. Sure, it all looks like iconic New Wave stuff now, but back then everybody I knew thought of them as a joke for the very same reason as me. And it's only now that I realize what great musicians these guys really are. People continually point out what a great guitarist Paul is, and for good reason. But Frank kills it on bass too, with Ali no slouch either. And Mikes vocals are perfect for the band and his keyboard playing top notch too! The fact they got their name from The Stranglers "Toiler on the Sea" just floors me! The Stranglers album Black and White is Incredible! But so different than these guys. It's hard, heavy, with bass playing so chunky nobody can ever forget the band after hearing it ... and then to learn The Flock of Seagulls got their name from that lyric in that song .... BOOM! Mind blown ...

I was thinking the same thing. How enormous and overwelming to actually do a thing like that. To be from Liverpool gives a person pride because they gifted the world the Beatles and also be a Flock of seagulls following their footsteps. The Band must have felt more emotions than anyone can imagine. It would blow my regular person mind for sure

Four great guys who made kick ass music and here's the thing: when their songs came out n the early 80s it was groundbreaking sound. The guitars, the drums, voice---it was weird and sublime at the same time. You wouldn't have felt out of place dancing to it in a church if you know what I mean. My hat off to you for giving me that gift, man. Wow.

I'm 62 and pretty much the same age as these guys and I really liked them when they hit the New Wave scene in the late 70's. I remember finding out in 1979 that Paul Reynolds was a year younger than me and here he was just coming up to 18 and the lead guitarist for an internationally recognised band - very inspiring! I'm glad to see the lads got back together a few years back for a little while and it was especially nice to hear that Paul Reynolds seems to have recovered from his mental health and addiction problems he ad in the early/mid 80's.
