Influences:Scott Walker, The Doors, Roxy Music, David Bowie, Kraftwerk, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Sparks, Talking Heads, Iggy Pop, Cabaret Voltaire, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Ultravox, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Einstürzende Neubauten, The Human League, NirvanaDepeche Mode are a British group formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex. Initially a bouncy Synth-Pop group, their songs later took on a darker, more sexual tone as they developed, with their evolution turning them into one of the trope codifiers of Alternative Dance alongside New Order.Like New Order, Depeche Mode were one of the first alternative dance bands to crack mainstream markets on both sides of the Pond, with their gothic aesthetic and innovative synth work later bringing them to worldwide fame in 1990 with the release of Violator. Then they reached their creative peak with Songs of Faith and Devotion in 1993. They've also been frequently cited as a key influence by Industrial Metal bands, including Nine Inch Nails. After two consecutive nominations in 2017 and 2018, Depeche Mode finally got into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, though their induction ceremony was pushed back due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.The band's line-up consists of vocalist Dave Gahan and vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Martin Gore (1980-present), who serves as the band's main songwriter; both were founding members of the band. Past members include keyboardist/songwriter Vince Clarke (1980-81, later of Yazoo and Erasure), keyboardist/arranger/drummer Alan Wilder (1982-1995), and keyboardist Andy Fletcher (1980-2022), who suddenly passed away in 2022 from an aortic dissection. | |
