Hurts are an electronic Manchester duo comprised of vocalist Theo Hutchcraft and keyboardist Adam Anderson. They first started getting some buzz near the end of 2009 when their song "Wonderful Life" (along with an Arthur Baker remix) leaked. Other great (and as of now, unreleased songs) that resonate for electro fans are "Blood, Tears, and Gold" and "Illuminated." Hurts are similar to underrated '80's acts the Lotus Eaters and Ultravox with an image that is sleek and stylish. Their videos are striking and this is definitely a band to keep an eye on if this sounds like your style.
Their first single "Better Than Love" was released in the UK May 2010. The follow-up single "Wonderful Life" was released in the UK August 2010. Their debut album Happiness is scheduled to be out September 2010. Hopefully by then they will be available on the US i-Tunes.
As of this post, they are giving away a free download of "Better Than Love" here:
