Cutting Crew - 1985年成立於英国，由吉他手 Kevin Scott MacMichael 及主唱 Nick Van Eede 所创立。如果不包括2006年忽然出现的新专辑《Grinning Souls》，基本上 Cutting Crew 活跃於乐坛的时间是非常短暂的，更严格的来看，或许可以说他们只红了约莫一年的时间。这支走流行摇滚风格的乐队在1985年成立后，随即於隔年的1986年推出了他们的首张专辑《Broadcast》，这是一张在商业上大获成功的作品，使他们在极短的时间内大受欢迎，成为当年最受欢迎的乐队之一。在《Broadcast》这张专辑中共出现了三首的排行榜畅销单曲。不过，之后至今，他们再也没有出现过任何的排行榜畅销单曲。在1986年的首张专辑《Broadcast》大获成功后，Cutting Crew 在乐坛就开始一路的走下坡了。1989年他们推出了第二张专辑《The Scattering》，这是一张惨遭滑铁卢的作品。自此以后，他们除了至各地巡迴演唱之外，逐渐的从乐坛中销声匿迹，也未再有新的作品问世。2006年 Cutting Crew 出乎大家意料的发行了他们的第三张专辑《Grinning Souls》，这张新专辑的发行距离他们的前一张作品间隔了将近有二十年，所以可说是让眾人大感惊讶。不过，除了惊讶之外，这张新作品在乐坛上似乎也未起任何涟漪，Cutting Crew 如果想藉此试著东山再起的话，恐怕要算是失败了。 The pop/rock group Cutting Crew formed in England in 1985, just one year before "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" made them stars at home and across the Atlantic. Founding members Kevin Scott MacMichael (guitar) and Nick Van Eede (vocals) met in Halifax, Nova Scotia, while both musicians were on tour with their respective bands. A musical connection was made, and MacMichael soon left his native Australia and relocated to England, where he and Van Eede immediately began to collaborate. After signing with Siren Records on the strength of their demos, Cutting Crew became a foursome in 1986 with the addition of bassist Colin Farley and drummer Martin Beadle; they entered the recording studio that same year. While the pace was certainly quick, the quartet was comprised of veterans; Eede had toured the world with his Sussex-based outfit the Drivers, MacMichael served time as guitarist for Fast Forward, Beadle was a one-time member of Hull, and Farley had completed hours of session work for many artists. Cutting Crew released their debut album, Broadcast, in 1986. The group received mixed reviews from music critics, but not when it came to the album's undeniable highlight, the synth-heavy "(I Just) Died in Your Arms." The song became smash hit in the United States, reaching number one on the Billboard singles chart and enjoying similar success in the U.K. "One for the Mockingbird" and "I've Been in Love Before" also enjoyed significant radio play, and the band left home for a worldwide tour, standing in as opening act for such groups as the Bangles, Starship, and Huey Lewis & the News. Cutting Crew released a sophomore album, The Scattering, in 1989. A third full-length effort, 1992's Compus Mentus, failed to revive their sagging popularity, however, and Cutting Crew called it quits the following year. MacMichael paired up with Robert Plant for the singer's 1993 solo effort, Fate of Nations, while Nick Van Eede chose to revive Cutting Crew the following decade. Featuring a radically different lineup, the group released Grinning Souls in 2006.
