Depeche Mode

In this episode of Influenced, we're taking a look at one of the most iconic electronic rock acts of all time, Depeche Mode. Formed in the early '80s UK and inspired by the synthy sounds of Kraftwerk and Bowie's Berlin era, the band found almost instant chart success in Europe with synthpop hit's like "Just Can't Get Enough" after lineup changes in their early days threatened the band's cohesion, keyboarist Martin Gore stepped up to lead the band as the primary songwriter. Under Gore's leadership, the band became one of the biggest acts in Europe with songs like "People Are People" and garnered a darker alternative sound into the '90s with iconic hits like "Enjoy the Silence". An influence across the music industry from synth-heavy alternative bands like MGMT and The Killers to experimental pop-stars like Poppy, Depeche Mode is a constant touchstone in today's musical landscape. Listen to this episode of Influenced to go deep on their career!
