Hurts - Blood Tears and Gold

Ok so this lot are going to do exactly what it says on the tin. We're not going to get colour video for a start (maybe stretch to sepia for the next one?) We're not going to get any funky disco, or a hammering electro number. There's a moment in the vid where the lead singer sneer/snarls the lyric and I find that fascinating. It marks the whole thing apart. Hurts are not Right Said Fred. Better learn to live with it...I think they're ace. And how cool do they look, eh?

Hurts

Hurts are doing a session tonight on the Huw Stevens show on Radio 1 between 9 and 10. Catch them if you can.

Hurts - Wonderful Life

I love the look and sound of this (is that the new Chris Lowe on keyboard?). What am I hearing in the chorus? Roxy Music? Savage Garden? I dunno, but I love it anyway. Check out Hurts at their Muhspace They're from Manchestah, dontcha know...
