Curt Smith
Tears for Fears
One of the best loved bands to emerge in the post-New Wave era of the early 1980s, Tears For Fears were formed in 1981, after Orzabal and Smith, childhood friends from Bath, made their first recordings as the band Graduate. The pair went on to create TFF, taking their name from the teachings of Arthur Janov, whose primal scream therapy greatly influenced a post-Beatles John Lennon. 1982's eponymous debut single Mad World went to No 3 in the UK, and in 1983 hits Change and Pale Shelter, (from their debut album, The Hurting) both went top 5.
