The Hurts are a British duo of electronic musicians, formed in Manchester by the singer Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson, a true wizard at the synthesizer. The stage presence of Theo and Adam is helped by their somber, ultra refined look, and has captured the attention of Giorgio Armani, who invited them to be his special guest during Vogue Night's Out in Milan. The discrete, electronic sound of Brit-pop and the band's polished image has made The Hurts a new fashion icon. The band has become synonymous with refinement, style and elegance. A cinematographic and rigorous appeal, mixed with melodic pop that evokes the sound of groups like Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Visage, Human League and of course, Depeche Mode.
