Tears for Fears - From Hurting to the Big Chair

Tears for Fears - From Hurting to the Big Chair

The Hurting, the 1983 debut album from Tears for Fears,was an intriguing and introspective album that focused on dark subjects such as child abuse, psychological trauma, and depression. This subject matter hit very close to home for the duo of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith of Tears for Fears, having dealt with these issues as part of their childhood. This album would hit number 1 on the UK album charts and produce three top five singles.

Tears for Fears followed with an album that would be even bigger as the band became an international success with Songs from the Big Chair in 1985, hitting number 1 on the US Billboard album chart along with two number 1 songs synonymous with classic 80’s pop culture.

This podcast will tell the story of the early years of the band, their first two albums, and the music that made this band one of the best from the era.
