Tears for Fears are a successful English Synth Pop band formed in the early 1980s by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, which emerged after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced Graduate. They were initially associated with new wave and the New Romantic movements, but quickly branched out into mainstream chart success.
The duo's name is derived from the primal therapy treatment formed by Arthur Janov. During primal therapy, the patient is encouraged to cry, scream, and beat objects to express childhood, perinatal and prenatal feelings; hence the name "Tears for Fears."
Career
Formation
Orzabal and Smith met as teenagers in their home town of Bath, England. Their first professional stint came with the band Graduate, a Mod Revival/New Wave act drawing on the major influences of the time, including The Jam and Elvis Costello. In 1980 Graduate released an album, Acting My Age, which just missed the Top 100 in the UK and performed well in Spain and in Holland. More on [ Tears for Fears ]
