Simple Minds

Simple Minds are a Scottish rock band formed in 1977. Emerging from post-punk and new wave roots, their music developed into a more expansive, synth- and guitar-driven sound marked by atmospheric keyboards, propulsive rhythms, and large, anthemic choruses. Their arrangements often blend rock instrumentation with electronic textures, and they have been active across several decades with a notable presence in the British 1980s music scene.
