Biography

The Human League, a synth pop group formed in Sheffield, England in 1977 by Martyn Ware, Ian Marsh, and Philip Oakey, gained international acclaim for their innovative use of synthesizers and electronic rhythms. After releasing their first single, "Being Boiled," in 1978, the band underwent lineup changes and achieved commercial success with hits like "Don't You Want Me" from their album Dare! in 1981. Despite a hiatus in the mid-1980s, the group made a comeback with the album Crash in 1986, featuring the chart-topping single "Human."

In the following years, the Human League continued to release albums and tour, with varying degrees of commercial success. Their 2001 album Secrets garnered attention for its updated sound, and the band maintained a strong connection to their post-punk and synth pop roots through live performances and collaborations with other Sheffield-based artists. With a career-spanning anthology released in 2016 and ongoing performances across Europe, the Human League remains a significant presence in the music industry.
