Erasure

Erasure is a British synth pop duo, consisting of Vince Clarke (synthesizers), formerly of Depeche Mode and Yazoo (Yaz in the US), and Andy Bell (vocals, lyrics).

Erasure burst onto the music scene in 1985 with their hit "Who Needs Love (Like That)" which reached only number 55 in the British charts (followed later by their fourth single "Sometimes" which reached #2), and have had over thirty hits since.

Together with Pet Shop Boys, Erasure brought pop-synthesized music to the forefront of the American music scene in the late 80s. Although they have not retained a strong presence on the popular music charts in the United States, they enjoy a large and loyal following throughout the world and continue to release new music and support newer albums with well-known world tours.
