Went to their concert yesterday. It was held in a small (2000 people) hall. There were two supporting acts, which happens rarely, but Hurts has only one album so they had to do something to make the whole thing last more than an hour. Both supporting acts were ok, but nothing special.
So finally after an hour and a half, Hurts steps into the spot light. For those who don’t know, they are a duo from Manchester and they play synth pop music. They created a band in 2005 with some friends; they got quite recognizable and released a few singles. But after a certain disastrous showcase in London, Theo and Adam went back to Manchester and recorded “Unspoken” and realized that this is the sound they want to develop. So in 2009 the band split up and Hurts was born.
Their album Happiness is full of not so happy love songs. But the thing I love most about them is that they sound young, fresh and full of energy. And that’s the exact impression I got on the concert. I have to admit though that I was a little disappointed with Theo’s singing. He did fell a bit short in some parts and the backup singers helped him a lot. It got better when he sang “Affair” with Adam on the guitar. They finished with energized “Stay” and left us with a smile on our faces.
Overall it was a great show. I loved the atmosphere they created in which I was able to lose myself for an hour and a half.
Here's a good enough video from yesterday:
