Synth pop's first international superstars, the Human League were among the earliest and most innovative bands to break into the pop mainstream on a wave of synthesizers and electronic rhythms, their marriage of infectious melodies and state-of-the-art technology proving enormously influential on countless acts following in their wake.

The group was formed in Sheffield, England, in 1977 by synth players Martyn Ware and Ian Marsh, who'd previously teamed as the duo Dead Daughters; following a brief tenure as the Future, they rechristened themselves the Human League after enlisting vocalist Philip Oakey.

Now a trio consisting of Oakey, Sulley, and Catherall, and with a resurgent interest in synth pop and post-punk, the group's 2001 album 'Secrets' recieved considerable press coverage, which saw the group update its early sound. Four years later, they released 'Live at the Dome'.
