Anyone else as enthusiastic about this duo from Manchester as I am?
Last.fm describes Hurts like this: Manchester, UK electro-pop duo Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson. Formed in 2009, elegant and enigmatic HURTS have their sharp suits, slick hair and stark visuals. Theo and Adam present a striking contrast to the glow-in-the-dark pop stars who have run amok across the charts of late. Looking like they would rather be on the cover of Vogue Hommes than NME or Smash Hits, the pair resemble Tears For Fears as shot by Anton Corbijn

Personally I can't get enough of their album Happiness. My favourites are Sunday, Devotion, The Water, Wonderful Life, Blood, Tears and Gold....oh wait, I could write 'em all down!

(and I can't help myself, Theo is too cute and finally I'm proud of my teeth, coz Adam has same kind of hole between his frontteeth as me hihiii!)

When I heard 'Devotion' for the first time, I directly made the link between this song's chorus and Lady GaGa's 'Bad Romance'. No kidding! You should check, it's exactly the same thing but 'Devotion' 's chorus is much slower than Bad Romance.

@ MaydayCall: yes, it sounds a little bit same. Devotion doesn't have those wououououo-ououo-oooouu yells as Bad Romance does butbut ::DD:

I am. I am.

This band seems very interesting to me.... I haven't found the time to get to know their music better but I have liked the songs I've heard on the radio etc...... These guys can produce effective melodies and cool sound effects.... Like the verse's vocal melody of Wonderful Life or the thick squeek of Stay's chorus......

Good stuff so far, I hope I manage to listen to Hurts more.................

I prefer pre-Hurts - "Daggers" band
Especially the "Moscow" song. Interesting music and very true words
If you don't know this song, check here: http://youtu.be/jfYu01Uhjc0

Yeah, "Moscow" is awesome. But I also like "Jealousy". It makes me wanna dance even though I hate dancing. xD

Yeah! "Jealousy" is amazing!
But I live in Moscow & more like "Moscow" song

I see. I would probably prefer Moscow if I'd live there, too (:

know this is very biased

Actually, it's not




I hope so, too

yep I know Daggers too and that Moscow song is very, very good! Theo singing "perfect sex" doesn't disturb that goodness at all.......................................................:D:DD:D:

But you've all seen Sunday's music video? It's awesome! So much colours and when Theo walks into that space in his white costume.............I'm trying to pull myself back together ugh he is so handsome :G

Hell yeah, I love that part where he's singing "romance and perfect sex"


The video of Sunday is good, no question but it's not their best one in my opinion. But I love the outdoor scenes where Theo is holding the girl in his arms and Adam is sitting in the car :3
And Sunday is a good song as well. I like the contrast between the cheerful melody and the kind of sad lyrics.
