Cutting Crew is a British rock group that burst into the international music scene during the 1980s. Formed in England in 1985, the band quickly achieved success with their blend of rock and pop sensibilities. The original line-up consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Nick Van Eede, guitarist Kevin MacMichael, bassist Colin Farley, and drummer Martin Beedle. They garnered significant attention with their debut album, "Broadcast" (1986), which featured the smash hit single "(I Just) Died In Your Arms." The song became a global sensation, topping charts around the world and cementing the band’s place in music history.

Despite the immense success of their early years, Cutting Crew’s subsequent releases did not achieve the same level of commercial triumph. Nevertheless, they continued to produce a steady stream of music that showcased their ability to blend thoughtful lyrics with catchy, melodic hooks. Over the years, the band has experienced lineup changes and periods of inactivity, but Nick Van Eede's leadership has kept the spirit and musical integrity of the band alive. In more recent times, their works such as "Ransomed Healed Restored Forgiven," which presents orchestral reimaginings of their classic hits, and "Add to Favourites," their 2015 studio album, illustrate the band's enduring talent for crafting dynamic and emotive music that connects with a dedicated fan base and appeals to new listeners alike.
