"15.10.2011 @ Helsinki Ice Hall ♥ I'm amazed by this band. I never thought they'd be this good live. The gig was extremely intimate and personal, Theo spoke to the crowd a lot and after the show you got the feeling that they actually did care about giving us the best show ever. They did all of my favorite songs, even Mother Nature and Confide In Me. It was fucking beautiful. Worth every penny... and more."

"Last year I discovered Hurts. I like them and they sound a bit like Depeche Mode. The song Better Than Love really sounds like Depeche. They have so much potential, and I want to hear more music from them. I'm also going to see them in October, finally! "
