Biography
The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The
band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist
and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure
first began releasing music in the late 1970s with their debut album Three
Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band
as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake
of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the
band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre.
After the release of Pornography (1982), the band's future was uncertain and
Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had acquired. With
the 1982 single "Let's Go to Bed" Smith began to inject more of a pop
sensibility into the band's music. The Cure's popularity increased as the decade
wore on, especially in the United States where the songs "Just Like Heaven", "Lovesong"
and "Friday I'm in Love" entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart. By the start of
the 1990s, The Cure were one of the most popular alternative rock bands in the
world. The band is estimated to have sold 27 million albums as of 2004. The Cure
have released thirteen studio albums and over thirty singles during the course
of their career. Read more....
