Exile Hurts… or: We’d love to be a Polivoks
The Hurts saga is quite the opposite of what one tends to believe is the situation for young musicians these days. In 2009; a hit tune, “Wonderful Life”, with an amateur video landed a recording deal with the RCA etiquette Major Label and a year later Hurts’ debut album “Happiness” was released. Since then, Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson have been touring like crazy all over the world.

We had a nice chat with Mr Anderson who revealed that “Exile” was an industrial album to begin with. Fortsätt läsa ”Exile Hurts… or: We’d love to be a Polivoks”
