Graduate were an English new wave and mod group formed in 1978, in Bath, England. They were only very mildly successful, and broke up by 1981. They are today best known as being the initial recording vehicle for future Tears for Fears members Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith

*I know that AllMusic lists Graduate as a new wave band but going by this song they're more like power pop band.* Like J. Geils Band, Big Star, The Knack, and Cheap Trick. Tears for Fears is definitely new wave. I wonder if they realized power pop was only getting them onto kiddie shows and decided to get on the new wave scene.

Although the band was created in 1978, this video is actually from 1980, in a TV performance, with this song "Ever Met a Day" on the children's program Runaround for Southern TV, in Southampton. It was in this year that they released their first and only album, “Acting My Age”. In 1981, Orzabal and Smith left Graduate and formed a band called History of Headaches, which they soon changed to Tears for Fears.

They've been following me around for decades! And fine cos they're not a bad band at all! My fave song is Sea Song. Btw, big shout out to all my old penpals from back in the day....we used to write a heck of a load of letters about TFF, there was a massive worldwide TFF network then in the 80s before the time of Social Media.

In 1978, the world was not ready for what this band would become. They were hip enough to popular tastes at this point to know that they could connect with the audience better by playing guitars instead of synths, but their way with a song was already in full bloom. To be honest, it was the 90s before I was willing to admit how good they are. I love this rare early video. Thank you for posting.

Never hear that before, but it's a great catchy number and I really like the bass. In Australia we only knew tears for fears, and for good reason, they wrote great songs and I think they are under rated musicians.
