Cutting Crew

Cutting Crew are an English rock band formed in London in 1985 by lead vocalist Nick Van Eede and guitarist Kevin MacMichael. The group achieved international success with their 1986 debut single, "(I Just) Died in Your Arms", which reached No. 1 in the United States and charted highly worldwide. Their debut album, Broadcast (1986), produced several other singles, including "I've Been in Love Before", which also reached the U.S. Top 10, and earned them a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 1987. Despite line-up changes and a hiatus in the 1990s, Van Eede revived the band in the 2000s, releasing new material and touring under the Cutting Crew name. Known for their polished production and melodic rock sound, the band has maintained a dedicated following and continues to be recognised for their contributions to 1980s pop and rock music.
