The Story
Spandau Ballet is a British pop band known for their contributions to new wave and blue-eyed soul, originating from the UK in 1979. They began as The Applause, the house band for the "Blitz Kids" club night, drawing inspiration from London's post-punk dance scene. With their smooth melodies and stylish flair, they became a notable force in the New Romantic movement of the early 1980s. Their standout hit, “True,” exemplifies their knack for blending catchy hooks with soulful undertones. Over the years, they've released a variety of albums, including compilations and re-recorded tracks, leaving a lasting impression on the pop music landscape that continues to echo today.
