全英音乐奖（Brit Awards）第25届最佳国际专辑 : Scissor Sisters 《Scissor Sisters 》。来自纽约的组合Scissor Sisters的这张专辑夺得最佳国际组合、国际专辑及国际新秀等3项大奖，主音Ana Matronic在台上领奖时更激动地表示：“在美国没有人认识我们呢。”真所谓墙里开花墙外香。

2010 release, the third album from the American Electro-Dance/Rock act. Night Work is a Dance record but it's not all Electronic. You can still hear the sound of a band spinning out together in a rehearsal room. It is the first time Scissor Sisters have worked with another producer; they recruited Stuart Price (The Killers, Madonna) to co-produce. This collaboration sees the group's relationship with Stuart come full circle after they opened for his band Zoot Woman in 2004, their first UK tour.

Ta-Dah is the second studio album by American 5-piece band Scissor Sisters, released in September 2006. The album's release in the UK, on September 18, 2006 was preceded by the release of the new single, "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'". The song reached #1 on both the UK Singles and Download charts in September 2006 (see 2006 in British music). This follow up to their debut featured collaborations with Elton John, Carlos Alomar and Paul Williams. The album entered the Irish Albums Chart at #1 on September 21, followed three days later by a #1 entry in the UK Albums Chart. The album had a respectable debut on the Billboard 200 in the US, coming in at #19 and selling 41,992 units in its first week.
"Land of a Thousand Words" was released as the second single from the album, peaking at #19 in the UK. "She's My Man" was the third single released in early March 2007 and managed to chart at #29. The next single that was released was "Kiss You Off" on May 28, the video for which can be seen in the media section of the band's website. This was the poorest charting of the singles of Ta-Dah, only being able to reach #43. This has, so far, been the lowest charting UK single on initial release. "I Can't Decide" charted at #64 on downloads alone, on the strength of being used in the Doctor Who episode "Last of the Time Lords".

Hurts新单曲，将Blood, Tears & Gold重新演绎~

3月即将发行的二专《Exile》首单

来自曼彻斯特的HURTS，主音THEO HUTCHCRAFT和负责SYNTHESIZER部分的ADAM ANDERSON以一丝不苟的西装、贴服光滑的发型，八十年代般官仔骨骨的示人。
签入RCA Records旗下后，Hurts顺利推出首张大碟《Happiness》，其中序幕曲〈Silver Lining〉，挟带大量电子线条来回穿绕，一种冷酷的氛围冻结四周空气，搭配Theo不过分的真假音漂亮转换，唯美动听的令人爱不释手，最后倒灌哥德式音场作结尾，有股不寒而栗之感；登记德国亚军+奥地利Top7+丹麦NO.8的〈Wonderful Life〉，将时空拉回80年代Synth-Pop荣景，其中拼贴Upbeat Dance+Pop+Disco元素的Disco Lento风格，更是充分运用于曲目里头；刻画凄美爱恋图像的〈Blood, Tears & Gold〉，似乎琴键每弹一音，心就跟着纠结更为紧绷，呈现一支催泪指数满点的歌谣；第一波主打〈Better Than Love〉，鲜明的节拍不断敲打，激发听众随乐摇摆的欲望，已抢先占据英国舞曲榜第6名位置；略带深沉的〈Devotion〉，除了包裹Hurts拿手的晦暗频率外，特别邀请性感女神Kylie Minogue助唱，收起娇甜的演绎方式，散发个性冷调声韵.
小心，他们的音乐会催人落泪、他们的声音会痛彻心扉，他们无心伤人，却又难逃陷入无法自拔的悲痛漩涡里头，他们是Hurts乐团，载乘复数的伤感因子，搭配冰冷的电子音场，同时贴附曼彻斯特摇滚风采，BBC抢先将尚未发行任何单曲的Hurts选入「2010年最受注目的新声音(Sound of 2010)」名单第四名、Guardian钦点「年度最佳乐队」，英国传媒更称之为「忧郁流行乐 (Gloom Pop)」。

Hurts' stunningly beautiful "Wonderful Life" was first released back in April but it is finally get some traction among pop aficionados everywhere. Hurts is the British pop duo of Theo Hutchcraft (vocals) and Adam Anderson (synths/guitar).
Together they put out a retro-styled pop sound that is drenched in '80s new wave and romanticism. It's that kind of sweet and crunchy pop that takes you right back to '80s pop glory with bands like Ultravox, ABC and Human League.
Biff Stannard (Kylie, Little Boots) recognized the duo's talent and signed Hurts to his Major Label label that is distributed by Sony Music. No indie route for Hurts. Hutchcraft and Anderson skip the line and go straight for the big time.
