The group were generally considered part of the New Romantic scene, with other style-and-dance bands such as SpandauBallet, Japan and Music/{{ABC}}. In 1980, they recorded two demo tapes and performed in clubs around Birmingham and London. In late 1980, when touring as an opening act for Hazel O'Connor, the band attracted critical attention, resulting in a bidding war between the record companies EMI and Phonogram Records. "A certain patriotism" toward the label of The Beatles led them to sign with EMI in December. However, Nick Rhodes said in a 1998 interview with Deluxe magazine, that the band felt they were "appallingly ripped off" by the EMI contract.

** A better example is 1984's ''Sing Blue Silver'', a documentary about their massive North American tour and how the band were coping with success. Another documentary came along in 1988, ''Three to Get Ready'', which showed the band's efforts to chug along after two of their members left (thus leaving only Simon, Nick, and John), their attempts to manage themselves, deal with an increasingly unsupportive record company (Capitol Records), and prepare for their 1987 tour promoting ''Notorious''.
Added DiffLines:
** That's only because in the U.S., MTV were pretty much the only place the band could catch a break. The only American DJ willing to play the band's music at the time was KROQ's Rodney Bingenheimer, as their music didn't fit the narrow parameters American radio demanded prior to the "Second British Invasion". OTOH, in their native U.K., the band had already been embraced by BBC Radio 1, taping a couple of sessions for popular radio personality Peter Powell and even being played by the ''extremely'' influential John Peel, so their music videos were just bonuses over there (meant to be played at rock clubs).
