Spandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet were a British new wave and New Romantic band formed in north London in the late 1970s. They became one of the leading acts of the New Romantic movement, known for their sharp suits, sophisticated image, and soulful pop sound. Their 1983 album 'True' produced the iconic title track, which reached number one in the UK and became one of the defining ballads of the decade. The band's evolution from the angular funk of early singles like 'To Cut a Long Story Short' to the polished blue-eyed soul of 'Gold' and 'True' demonstrated considerable artistic range. Spandau Ballet sold over 25 million records worldwide and remain synonymous with the glamour and ambition of 1980s British pop.
