Hailing from Manchester, Hurts are Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson. The duo met back in 2005 after their friends were having a punch-up and the two of them got talking about music. They started out writing music together over the internet, then went on to form the band 'Daggers'. After the band split in 2008, they carried on writing together under the 'Hurts' guise and are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album. They recently finished fourth position in the BBC Sound of 2010 poll.
