About Tears for Fears

In case you’re just founding out about the band here’s their short bio. Tears for Fears is an English band formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. The duo is one of the most iconic bands of the 1980s. They created their own unique sound that mixed elements of synth, pop and new wave. Distinctive vocals, catchy tunes, exceptional instrumental parts (including one of my favorite – saxophone) – all that made them one of the most popular and influential groups of their time.
