Spandau Ballet is an English band that rose to fame in the 1980s as part of the
New Romantic movement. Their music blends elements of
new wave,
pop, and
soul, with a heavy emphasis on synths and orchestral arrangements.
Some of their most popular songs include ‘True,’ ‘Gold,’ and ‘Through the Barricades.’ Along with other New Romantic bands like
Duran Duran and
Culture Club, Spandau Ballet helped shape the sound of 80s pop music and continues to be an influence on contemporary artists today.
