Known for their futuristic sound and unique visual style, the band was formed by brothers Mike and Ali Score. Their most influential work, "I Ran (So Far Away)", gained international acclaim for its catchy, electronic melodies and the distinctive, spiked hairstyle of lead singer Mike Score became an iconic image of 1980s pop culture.
