Hurts are an English duo formed by vocalist Theo Hutchcraft and keyboardist and guitarist Adam Anderson in 2009.

They are famous thanks to their first big hit “Wonderful Life”. Other notable songs are “Stay”, “Somebody to Die For” and “Miracle”.

Their sound combines synthpop, new wave, and electronic rock. They cited Depeche Mode and Prince as big influences on their music.

Theo and Adam are very good friends, they met randomly outside a club at 4 am whilst their friends were fighting. Instead of joining in (they were too drunk) they started to talk about music and found out they have a familiar taste. Since then, they started to compose music together. Also, they like to joke a lot, just play really any interview with them.

They have released five studio albums: Happiness (2010), Exile (2013), Surrender (2015), Desire (2017) and Faith (2020).
