New Band Obsession: Hurts

For the past several weeks, I have been obsessed with new UK band Hurts. The electronic duo is comprised of vocalist Theo Hutchcraft and synth player Adam Anderson. While their first album hasn’t dropped yet, I am loving what I’ve heard so far. The first two singles have been very well received in Europe and I am anxiously waiting their arrival on US shores.

Their debut album Happiness is scheduled for release in Germany on August 27 and in the UK on September 6. Sadly, no release date has yet been set for the States, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.

Here is the video for their very first single, “Better Than Love.”

And the somewhat strange video for their newest single, “Wonderful Life.”

And my personal favorite Hurts video, a live performance for their song “Illuminated.” Enjoy!
