Dexys Midnight Runners é uma banda formada no início dos anos 80, cuja principal figura é o vocalista Kevin Rowland.
O grupo lançou três albuns e em cada um deles apresentava uma formação diferente, mantendo apenas o trombonista além do vocalista fundador (a dupla também era responsável pela co-autoria da maioria das canções). O termos “Dexys” é uma abreviatura da substância dexedrina.
O primeiro álbum, Searching for the young soul rebels
