Wed Feb 23 2011 by Robbie Daw
Our favorite melancholy synth duo out of England, Hurts, shot the video for new single "Sunday" in Romania earlier this year. And if you're wondering what it's about, well, here's what crooner Theo Hutchcraft told Digital Spy last week: "We go to an exotic, beautiful place, think of a theme that no-one else will understand except us, and surround us with women so people won't ask us what it's about!"

Fri Dec 24 2010 by Becky Bain
You voted — and voted, and voted — and it turns out your favorite Christmas single of 2010 is "All I Want For Christmas Is New Years" by Hurts! The Manchester duo triumphed with 47% in our poll, raking in over 10,000 votes! Kylie Minogue's "Let It Snow" came in a close second with 43% (9,282 votes), and, shockingly, Kanye's "Christmas In Harlem" came in dead last, with only 21 ballots cast in his favor. Somehow, we think 'Ye will be alright.
Now that Hurts' Theo and Adam have triumphed over not only Xmas single Queen Mariah Carey, but major music acts like Coldplay, Rihanna, and the juggernaut that is Glee, maybe they won't be so damn solemn this Christmas. Jump below to watch the video for their championing song — and happy holidays, Idolators! More »

Hurts Attend A Festive Funeral In “All I Want For Christmas Is New Year’s Day” Video
Mon Dec 6 2010 by Robbie Daw
We have to admit, Manchester duo Hurts served up some of our favorite melancholy synth pop in 2010—from their breakout hit "Wonderful Life" to their dirge-y Kylie Minogue duet "Devotion." And so it only seems fitting that the lads cap off the year with a holiday single. Of course, Hurts wouldn't be Hurts if the video didn't feature Theo and Adam solemnly walking in the snow to a funeral—albeit one where a lit-up Christmas tree springs out of a grave! Watch "All I Want For Christmas Is New Year's Eve" below.

Hurts’ “Stay” Video Is Full Of Beauty And Gloom
Wed Oct 13 2010 by Robbie Daw

It's a very "on a budget" affair, but a scenic one that somehow manages to appear both pleasant and dreary at the same time. Watch below.

Fri Oct 1 2010 by Robbie Daw
We scandalously overlooked moody synth duo Hurts performing their single "Wonderful Life" on the German version of The X Factor earlier this week. Chalk it up to us being blinded by Kylie Minogue's excellent cover of the tune for Radio 1 Live Lounge on Tuesday. As PopJustice points out, the camera work during the lads' performance is "best classified as 'odd'." Then again, Expressionism...
