About Tears For Fears

Tears for Fears is a British rock and new wave band formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal (vocals and guitar) and Curt Smith (vocals and bass). Emerging from the dissolution of their previous band, Graduate, they initially embraced the synth-driven new wave sound of the early 1980s. Over time, their style evolved, incorporating rock and mainstream pop elements that propelled them to international stardom. The band was a key part of the Second British Invasion of the United States, fueled by MTV’s rise.

Their 1983 debut album, The Hurting, introduced hits like "Mad World" and "Pale Shelter," while their 1985 follow-up, Songs from the Big Chair, solidified their status with global hits such as "Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." Their ability to craft emotionally charged, anthemic songs made them one of the defining acts of the decade.

Despite periods of hiatus and solo ventures, Tears for Fears remained relevant, with their music sampled by artists like The Weeknd, Kanye West, and David Guetta, and covered by names such as Lorde and Adam Lambert. Their songs have also been featured in films like Donnie Darko and Straight Outta Compton.

In 2022, after a 17-year gap, the duo returned with The Tipping Point, an acclaimed album that reaffirmed their creative strength. Now, with a renewed presence on major stages worldwide, Tears for Fears continues to inspire generations, proving that their timeless sound still resonates across eras.
