The Cure

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Out of all the bands that emerged in the immediate aftermath of punk rock in the late '70s, few were as enduring and popular as the Cure. Led through numerous incarnations by guitarist/vocalist Robert Smith (born April 21, 1959), the band became notorious for its slow, gloomy dirges and Smith's ghoulish appearance, a public image that often hid the diversity of the Cure's music. At the outset, the Cure played jagged, edgy pop songs before slowly evolving into a more textured outfit.

VINYL FORMAT. The Cure's new studio album, their 13th, is appropriately called 4:13 Dream. "There are songs about relationships, the material world, politics and religion. They're very upfront and dynamic," says Smith of the new songs. "People will be surprised how stripped down and in your face the record is." The Cure played several new songs fron this album during their North American tour this past summer. Led as always by lead singer / guitarist Robert Smith, the Cure line-up comprises long-time   [ read more ]

The shiny, sleek production and laser-sharp melodies of 'Inbetween Days' and 'Close to Me' helped them become modern rock radio staples and the inspired videos had them in heavy rotation on MTV. The rest of the record didn't suffer for hooks and inventive arrangements either, making even the gloomiest songs like 'Screw' and 'Kyoto Song' sound radio-ready, and the inventive arrangements (the flamenco guitars and castanets o   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Maybe it was youthful exuberance or perhaps it was the fact that the band itself was not pulling all the strings, Three Imaginary Boys is not only a very strong debut, but a near oddity (it's an admittedly "catchy" record) in the Cure catalog. More poppy and representative of the times it was made that any other album during their long career, Three Imaginary Boys is a semi-detached bit of late-'70s English pop-punk. Angular and lyrically abstract, it's strong points are in its utter simplicit   [ read more ]
