Strangely, it was soon after a conversation with my son that things swiftly began falling into place. I had not long returned from a Chappell Roan<\/a><\/strong> gig at the Brixton Academy and felt the effects of post-gig blues creeping in. I simply inquired, “If there is a band you’d wish to go see, that you haven’t yet. Who would that be”? The spontaneous reply from him was Hurts<\/a><\/strong>. The reponse, in turn made me extremely happy, since Hurts is one of my favourite duos from this past decade. Even so, little did I foresee that within a week or two following that conversation I would spend an anxious forty minutes securing concert tickets for a Hurts “15 Years of Happiness<\/strong>” gig in the pre-sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have covered Hurts countless times on the blog since I immensely admire the alternative pop duos’ artistry. Intelligent lyricism, distinctive alt-pop flair, stunning visual aesthetics and uber-arresting music videos. Yet I hadn’t realised the fifteenth anniversary of the duo’s debut album “Happiness<\/strong>” was about to arrive. Neither had it occurred to me that Hurts might go all in with celebrating this milestone. I was however massively happy to find out about the planned London show. And so, the plotting and planning began in earnest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\"Listen<\/a>\n \n \n\n\n\n\n
