The official YouTube channel for Thompson Twins.
Thompson Twins, a British pop band formed in 1977, achieved significant success in the 1980s, leaving an indelible mark on the era's music. Comprising Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie, and Joe Leeway, the trio transitioned from post-punk to synth-pop, defining their sound. Their breakthrough came with the 1983 hit "Hold Me Now," followed by the album "Into the Gap," featuring chart-toppers like "Doctor! Doctor!" and "You Take Me Up." These tracks showcased their knack for infectious melodies and socially conscious lyrics. The band's thematic richness, combined with danceable beats, contributed to their international stardom. Despite later stylistic shifts and disbandment in 1993, the Thompson Twins' impact endures, with their influence extending beyond the 1980s.
