Hurts: Better Than Love

British pop duo Hurts consists of Adam Anderson (right) and Theo Hutchcraft (left), two singer-songwriters who met and then started up a musical relationship online, making music together before they even knew each other.

If you watch MTV a lot, you’ve probably heard of them. They were featured on MTV PUSH around last month or so, if i’m not mistaken. I know because i saw them on tv while i was at the gym.

Well i wouldn’t say i’m a big fan of them yet, but i think that their music is rather nice. It’s like the kind of tune that sounds different yet familiar at the same time.

I know it’s a shallow thing to say but when i first saw their music video, the first thing i noticed was how good looking the singer was in the video. Theo Hutchcraft has this resemblance to Arthur from Inception. If you haven’t watched Inception then shame on you.

Looks aside, he also has a very nice voice. His voice reminds me of The Killers. Though his singing sounds a lot like The Killers, the music however is totally different.

Here’s a video of their first single. Honestly speaking, i think i’m starting to like the song. It took me 3 plays to appreciate it. Hope you’ll grow a liking for it like i did :)

Better Than Love is like dance music for depression.
