Elegant and enigmatic Manchester, UK electro duo Hurts have been named in the top 5 of the BBC's Sound of 2010 list, predicting big things for the band this year. This is exactly where they are heading! The electro-pop pair, comprised of singer Theo Hutchcraft and instrumentalist Adam Anderson, had great success with first single ‘Wonderful Life’, and now their latest soon to be released single ‘Better Than Love’ is receiving massive air play with rave reviews throughout the music industry.

Hurts have their sharp suits, slick hair and stark visuals, Theo Hutchcraft and Anderson present a striking contrast to the glow-in-the-dark pop stars who have run amok across the charts of late and bring a sophisticated air to the Wakestock stage this year.
