Naked Eyes

Naked Eyes was a British synthpop duo formed in 1982 by singer Pete Byrne and keyboardist Rob Fisher. They had previously played together in Neon, a band that also included future members of Tears for Fears.

Their 1983 debut album, Burning Bridges, was released in the United States as Naked Eyes. It featured their cover of Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s “Always Something There to Remind Me,” which reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. The duo also had U.S. top 40 hits with “Promises, Promises,” “When the Lights Go Out,” and “(What) In the Name of Love.” Their second album, Fuel for the Fire, followed in 1984.

Fisher died in 1999. Byrne later recorded and toured under the Naked Eyes name, releasing Fumbling with the Covers in 2007 and Disguise the Limit in 2021. The debut album was remastered and reissued in 2025. Byrne died on September 14, 2026.
