Tears For Fears!

Postby tff37 » Tue Jul 13, 2004 4:35 am

Hey everyone. I've been really excited recently cause I just heard that Tears For Fears are back together. I'm blown away because it's been like 15 years since Roland & Curt have been recording music togther! On their official site (tearsforfears.net) there is some new music and I gotta say that it is amazing. I guess they even have a new record ready to go and everything.
Are there any other TFF obsessives out there?

Damn man! Call me mellow is great! It looks like they both picked up where sowing the seeds of love dropped off. It has the same feel to it. I wonder which one of them wanted to go in that direction and which didn't. I think thats why they broke up. Any c

Exciting news indeed!
It's just like an episode of Bands Reunited, but without the VH1 mediation.
Could a tour be far off?

Getting along will show in their live shows.

They have to be better together - the crap Roland put out under the TFF name (Raoul and the Kings of Spain) was embaressing.
Looking forward to this reunion. I haven't heard any of the new stuff but hope it goes back to Hurting and Songs... in style.

They both had long hair at different stages of their evolution. Curt was the smaller of the two...

Right, Roland kept the long hair. I'm just trying to get it so I have a visual when people talk about them. They are great. Their voices really work well together.
