So (band)

So are an English duo from London active in the late 1980s, that featured Marcus Bell and Mark Long, who were previously members of a band called The Opposition. The duo were managed by Steve Weltman of Esta Management, and were contemporaries of acts such as Climie Fisher and Waterfront. Signing to Parlophone, they released singles such as "Are You Sure?" (UK #62,^[1] US #41) and "Would You Die For Me", as well as the accompanying album Horseshoe in the Glove, produced by Walter Turbitt.

They are not to be confused with the similarly named electronic act, featuring Markus Popp (also of Oval and Microstoria) and the Japanese vocalist Eriko Toyoda.

Marcus Bell died in December 2014.
