Despite being everyone’s band of the moment and coming fourth in the BBC Sound of 2010 poll, Mancunian ElectroPopers HURTS are yet to release anything, or play a gig!

Their well blogged track of last year ‘Wonderful Life’ is being released as a limited edition 12” (with the Arthur Baker reMix) on 18th January but with the release of this video for the song ‘Blood, tears & Gold’ you can bet it will be the first single proper.

Now THAT is a huge, deep 80’s ballad!!!!

‘Wonderful Life’ can be pre-ordered here:
