And we are back! Back!! BACK!!! with an act very much defined by this glorious decade; Tears For Fears.Not picked purely cos their hometown is located not 30 miles from 80sography Central. If location was the definer then this would be part 1 of 4 of Douggie Alsopp’s Banjo Ragtime Razzamataz combo from Lechlade. And it’s not (that's further down the line between Huey Lewis and The Cure*).First up we explore the early years of Roland and Curt; the ska-inflected/infected early band, the failed singles, the breakthru single and The Hurting LP.
