The Cure are an English rock ring formed in 1978 in Crawley, Westward Sussex.[1] [ii] [three] Throughout numerous lineup changes since the band's formation, guitarist, lead singer, and songwriter Robert Smith has remained the simply constant member. The ring's debut album was 3 Imaginary Boys (1979) and this, along with several early on singles, placed the band in the post-punk and new moving ridge movements that had sprung up in the United kingdom. Beginning with their 2nd album, Seventeen Seconds (1980), the band adopted a new, increasingly dark and tormented style, which, together with Smith's phase look, had a strong influence on the emerging genre of gothic rock likewise as the subculture that eventually formed around the genre.

Post-obit the release of their quaternary album Pornography in 1982, the band's future was uncertain. Smith was keen to move by the gloomy reputation his band had acquired, introducing a greater pop sensibility into the band'due south music. Songs such as "Allow'due south Get to Bed" (1982), "The Dearest Cats" (1983), "Inbetween Days" (1985), "Shut To Me" (1985), "Just Similar Heaven" (1987), "Lovesong" (1989), and "Friday I'm in Love" (1992) aided the ring in receiving commercial popularity. The ring have released 13 studio albums, two EPs, over thirty singles, and have sold over xxx 1000000 albums worldwide.

The Cure were inducted into the Stone and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.[4] [v]

History [edit]

1973–1979: Germination and early years [edit]

The founding members of the Cure were school friends at Notre Dame Middle Schoolhouse in Crawley, Westward Sussex.[half-dozen] They beginning performed in public at an stop-of-year show in Apr 1973 every bit members of a one-off school-band chosen Obelisk.[7] That ring consisted of Robert Smith on pianoforte, Michael "Mick" Dempsey on guitar, Laurence "Lol" Tolhurst on percussion, Marc Ceccagno on lead guitar and Alan Hill on bass guitar.[7] In January 1976, while at St Wilfrid'south Comprehensive School, Ceccagno formed a five-piece rock ring with Smith on guitar and Dempsey on bass, along with ii other school friends.[8] They called themselves Malice, and rehearsed David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix and Alex Harvey songs in a local church building-hall.[9] By late April 1976 Ceccagno and the other two schoolhouse-friends had left, and Tolhurst (drums), Martin Creasy (vocals), and Porl Thompson (guitar) had joined the band.[10] This lineup played all iii of Malice's only documented live-shows during December 1976. In Jan 1977, post-obit Martin Creasy'south departure, and increasingly influenced by the emergence of punk rock, Malice'due south remaining members became known as Easy Cure – afterwards a song written past Tolhurst.[11]

After winning a talent competition, Easy Cure signed a recording contract with German tape characterization Ariola-Hansa on 18 May 1977.[8] In September 1977, Peter O'Toole (no relation to the actor), who had been the group's vocalist for several months, left the group to live on a kibbutz in Israel. Both Malice and Easy Cure auditioned several vocalists that month earlier Smith assumed the office.[12] The new iv-piece of Dempsey, Smith, Thompson, and Tolhurst recorded their start studio demo sessions every bit Easy Cure for Hansa at SAV Studios in London between Oct and November 1977.[13] None were ever released.[xiv]

The ring continued to perform regularly around Crawley (including The Rocket, St Edward'south, and Queen'southward Foursquare in detail) throughout 1977 and 1978. On 19 February 1978 they were joined at The Rocket for the first time by a support ring from Horley called Lockjaw, featuring bassist Simon Gallup.[fifteen] Hansa, dissatisfied with the group's demos, did non wish to release "Killing an Arab". The label suggested that the band attempt comprehend versions instead. They refused, and by March 1978 Easy Cure's contract with the label had been dissolved.[16] Smith afterwards recalled, "We were very immature. They only thought they could plough us into a teen group. They actually wanted us to do cover versions and we always refused."[14]

On 22 April 1978 Easy Cure played their last gig at the Montefiore Establish Hall (in the Three Bridges neighbourhood of Crawley)[17] before guitarist Porl Thompson was dropped from the lineup because his lead-guitar way was at odds with Smith's growing preference for minimalist songwriting.[18] Smith soon renamed the remaining trio "The Cure".[19] Afterwards that month the band recorded their first sessions equally a trio at Anecdote Studios in Sussex, producing a demo tape for distribution to a dozen major record-labels.[20] The demo institute its way to Polydor Records scout Chris Parry, who signed the Cure to his newly-formed Fiction characterization—distributed by Polydor—in September 1978.[21] The Cure released their debut single "Killing an Arab" in Dec 1978 on the Small Wonder characterization as a stopgap until Fiction finalised distribution arrangements with Polydor. "Killing an Arab" garnered both acclamation and controversy: while the single's provocative championship led to accusations of racism, the vocal is actually based on French existentialist Albert Camus's novel The Stranger.[22] The band placed a sticker label that denied the racist connotations on the single'southward 1979 reissue on Fiction. An early on NME article on the band wrote that the Cure "are similar a breath of fresh suburban air on the uppercase'due south smog-ridden pub-and-club circuit", and noted: "With a John Peel session and more than all-encompassing London gigging on their firsthand agenda, it remains to exist seen whether the Cure can retain their refreshing joie de vivre."[23]

The Cure released their debut anthology 3 Imaginary Boys in May 1979. Because of the band'due south inexperience in the studio, Parry and engineer Mike Hedges took command of the recording.[24] The band, particularly Smith, were unhappy with the anthology; in a 1987 interview, he admitted: "a lot of it was very superficial – I didn't even like it at the fourth dimension. There were criticisms made that information technology was very lightweight, and I thought they were justified. Even when we'd made it, I wanted to practice something that I thought had more than substance to it."[25] The band's second single, "Boys Don't Cry", was released in June. The Cure then embarked as the back up band for Siouxsie and the Banshees' Join Hands promotional tour of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales between August and October. The tour saw Smith pull double-duty each night past performing with the Cure and as the guitarist with the Banshees when John McKay quit the group in Aberdeen.[26] That musical feel had a strong impact on him: "On phase that first night with the Banshees, I was blown away by how powerful I felt playing that kind of music. It was then different to what nosotros were doing with the Cure. Before that, I'd wanted united states to be like the Buzzcocks or Elvis Costello; the punk Beatles. Being a Banshee really changed my attitude to what I was doing."[27]

The Cure'due south 3rd single, "Jumping Someone Else's Train", was released in early October 1979. Soon afterwards, Dempsey was dropped from the band considering of his cold reception to cloth Smith had written for the upcoming album.[28] Dempsey joined the Assembly, while Simon Gallup (bass) and Matthieu Hartley (keyboards) from the Magspies joined the Cure. The Associates toured equally support ring for the Cure and the Passions on the Future Pastimes Tour of England between November and Dec—all iii bands were on the Fiction Records roster—with the new Cure line-up already performing a number of new songs for the projected 2d anthology.[29] Meanwhile, a spin-off band comprising Smith, Tolhurst, Dempsey, Gallup, Hartley, and Thompson, with backing vocals from contrasted family and friends and lead vocals provided by their local postman Frankie Bell, released a 7-inch single in December under the name of Cult Hero.[xxx]

1980–1982: Early gothic phase [edit]

Due to the ring's lack of creative control on the first album, Smith exerted a greater influence on the recording of the Cure's 2nd album Seventeen Seconds, which he co-produced with Mike Hedges.[31] The album was released in 1980 and reached number twenty on the UK charts. A single from the album, "A Forest", became the ring's first UK hitting single, reaching number 31 on the singles chart.[32] The album was a departure from the Cure'southward audio upward to that point, with Hedges describing it equally "morose, atmospheric, very different to Three Imaginary Boys."[33] In its review of Seventeen Seconds the NME said, "For a grouping as immature as the Cure, it seems astonishing that they take covered so much territory in such a brief fourth dimension."[34] At the aforementioned fourth dimension, Smith was pressed concerning the concept of an alleged "anti-image".[35] Smith told the press he was fed up with the anti-image association that some considered to be "elaborately disguising their plainness", stating, "We had to go away from that anti-image affair, which we didn't even create in the showtime identify. And information technology seemed like we were trying to be more than obscure. We simply didn't like the standard rock affair. The whole thing really got out of manus."[36] That same year Three Imaginary Boys was repackaged for the American market as Boys Don't Cry, with new artwork and a modified runway list. The Cure ready out on their start world tour to promote both releases. At the finish of the tour, Matthieu Hartley left the band. Hartley said, "I realised that the group was heading towards suicidal, sombre music—the sort of thing that didn't interest me at all."[37]

The band reconvened with Hedges to produce their third anthology, Faith (1981), which furthered the dour mood present on Seventeen Seconds.[38] The album peaked at number fourteen on the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland charts.[32] Included with cassette copies of Faith was an instrumental soundtrack for Carnage Visors, an animated film shown in place of an opening act for the band's 1981 Picture Tour.[39] In belatedly 1981 the Cure released the non-album unmarried "Charlotte Sometimes". By this point, the sombre mood of the music had a profound consequence on the attitude of the ring and they were "stuck in a ghoulish oestrus". Sometimes Smith would be so captivated past the persona he projected onstage he would leave at the end in tears.[forty]

In 1982 the Cure recorded and released Pornography, the third and final album of an "oppressively dispirited" trio that cemented the Cure's stature as purveyors of the emerging gothic rock genre.[41] Smith has said that during the recording of Pornography he was "undergoing a lot of mental stress. Only it had nothing to practise with the group, it simply had to practice with what I was similar, my historic period and things. I recollect I got to my worst round about Pornography. Looking back and getting other people's opinions of what went on, I was a pretty monstrous sort of person at that time".[25] Gallup described the album by proverb, "Nihilism took over [...] We sang 'It doesn't matter if we all dice' and that is exactly what we thought at the time."[42] Parry was concerned that the album did non take a hit song for radio play and instructed Smith and producer Phil Thornalley to smoothen the track "The Hanging Garden" for release as a unmarried.[43] Despite the concerns almost the album's uncommercial sound, Pornography became the band's showtime UK Acme ten album, charting at number viii.[32]

The release of Pornography was followed by the Fourteen Explicit Moments tour, where the band finally dropped the anti-paradigm angle and first adopted their signature look of large, towering pilus and smeared lipstick on their faces.[44] The tour also saw a series of incidents that prompted Simon Gallup to leave the Cure at the bout'due south conclusion. Gallup and Smith did non talk to each other for eighteen months following his departure.[45] Smith rejoined Siouxsie and the Banshees equally their lead guitarist in November 1982.[46] He afterwards became a full-time member of the band, and was featured on the live video and album Nocturne. He and so recorded the album Hyæna with them, but left the group 2 weeks before its June 1984 release to concentrate on The Cure.[47]

1983–1988: Commercial success [edit]

With Gallup'south divergence from the Cure and Smith'southward work with Siouxsie and the Banshees, rumours spread that the Cure had broken up. In December 1982, Smith remarked to Melody Maker, "Practice the Cure actually be any more? I've been pondering that question myself [...] it has got to a betoken where I don't fancy working in that format again." He added, "Any happens, it won't be me, Laurence and Simon together any more. I know that."[48]

Parry was concerned at the state of his label's top band, and became convinced that the solution was for the Cure to reinvent its musical style. Parry managed to convince Smith and Tolhurst of the idea; Parry said, "It appealed to Robert because he wanted to destroy the Cure anyway."[49] With Tolhurst now playing keyboards instead of drums, the duo released the single "Allow's Go to Bed" in late 1982. While Smith wrote the single equally a throwaway, "stupid" popular song to the press,[50] it became a pocket-size hit in the Uk, reaching number 44 on the singles chart,[32] only entered the Elevation twenty in Australia and New Zealand. It was followed in 1983 past ii more successful songs: the synthesiser-based "The Walk" (number 12), and "The Love Cats", which became the band's first British Pinnacle 10 hit, reaching number seven.[32] [51] These singles and their B-sides were compiled on the Japanese Whispers compilation, which was released in December 1983.[52]

In 1984, the Cure released The Top, a mostly psychedelic album on which Smith played about of the instruments except the drums (played by Andy Anderson) and the saxophone (played past Porl Thompson). The album was a Top x hit in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, and was their first studio anthology to break the Billboard 200 in the Usa, reaching number 180.[32] [53] Melody Maker praised the anthology as "psychedelia that can't be dated", while pondering, "I've yet to meet anyone who can tell me why the Cure are having hits now of all times."[54] The Cure and then embarked on their worldwide Top Tour with Thompson, Anderson and producer-turned-bassist Phil Thornalley on lath. Released in late 1984, the Cure'southward starting time live anthology, Concert consisted of performances from this tour. Near the tour'southward terminate, Anderson was fired for destroying a hotel room and was replaced past Boris Williams.[55] Thornalley also left because of the stress of touring.[56] However, the bassist slot was not vacant long, for a Cure roadie named Gary Biddles had brokered a reunion between Smith and former bassist Simon Gallup, who had been playing in the ring Fools Dance. Soon after reconciling, Smith asked Gallup to rejoin the band.[57] Smith was ecstatic almost Gallup's render and alleged to Melody Maker, "It's a grouping once again."[58]

In 1985, the new line-up of Smith, Tolhurst, Gallup, Thompson and Williams released The Head on the Door, an album that managed to demark together the optimistic and pessimistic aspects of the band'south music between which they had previously shifted.[59] The Head on the Door reached number vii in the UK and was the band's first entry into American Tiptop 75 at number 59,[32] [53] a success partly due to the international touch on of the LP's two singles, "In Between Days" and "Close to Me". Following the album and world tour, the band released the singles compilation Standing on a Beach in iii formats (each with a unlike track list and a specific proper name) in 1986. This compilation made the U.s. Top 50,[53] and saw the re-issue of 3 previous singles: "Boys Don't Cry" (in a new form), "Let's Get to Bed" and, later, "Charlotte Sometimes". This release was accompanied by a VHS and LaserDisc chosen Staring at the Sea, which featured videos for each runway on the compilation. The Cure toured to support the compilation and released a alive concert VHS of the testify, filmed in the s of France called The Cure in Orangish. During this time, the band became very pop in Europe (particularly in France, Deutschland and the Benelux countries) and increasingly popular in both the US and Canada.[60]

In 1987, the Cure released the musically eclectic double LP Kiss Me, Buss Me, Kiss Me, which reached number six in the United kingdom, the Tiptop 10 in several countries[61] and was the band'southward start entry into the US Top 40 at number 35 (where it was certified platinum),[32] [53] [62] reflecting the band's rising mainstream popularity. The album's tertiary single, "Just Like Heaven", was the band's most successful single to date in the The states, being their first to enter the Billboard Top 40.[53] The album produced three other hit-singles. After the anthology'due south release, the ring recruited the Psychedelic Furs keyboardist Roger O'Donnell and successfully toured equally a sextet but during the European leg of the tour, Lol Tolhurst's alcohol consumption began to interfere with his ability to perform.[63]

1989–1993: Disintegration and worldwide stardom [edit]

In 1989, the Cure released the anthology Disintegration, which was critically praised and became their highest charting album to engagement, entering at number three in the UK and featuring three Summit 30 singles in the Great britain and Germany: "Lullaby", "Lovesong" and "Pictures of You".[32] [64] Disintegration also reached number twelve on the Us charts.[53] The first single in the United states of america, "Fascination Street", reached number one on the American Modern Rock chart, just was chop-chop overshadowed when its 3rd US single, "Lovesong", reached number 2 on the American pop charts (the only Cure single to reach the US Peak 10).[53] Past 1992, Disintegration had sold over three one thousand thousand copies worldwide.[65]

During the Disintegration sessions, the ring gave Smith an ultimatum that either Tolhurst would have to leave the band or they would.[66] In Feb 1989, Tolhurst's exit was fabricated official and announced to the press;[67] this resulted in O'Donnell becoming a full-fledged member of the band and left Smith as the Cure's only remaining founding member. Smith attributed Tolhurst'due south dismissal to an inability to exert himself and issues with alcohol, final, "He was out of step with everything. It had just get detrimental to everything we'd practise."[68] Because Tolhurst was still on the payroll during the recording of Disintegration, he is credited in the anthology's liner notes as playing "other instrument" (sic) and is listed equally a co-writer of every song; notwithstanding, it has since been revealed that while Tolhurst had contributed to the song "Homesick",[69] his contributions to the rest of the album were minimal due to his alcoholism.[69] The Cure then embarked on a successful bout which saw the band playing stadiums in the United states. On 6 September 1989, the Cure performed "Just Like Heaven" at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles.[70]

In May 1990, O'Donnell quit and was replaced with the band's guitar technician, Perry Bamonte.[71] That November, the Cure released a drove of remixes called Mixed Upwardly. The one new vocal on the drove, "Never Enough", was released as a unmarried. In 1991, the Cure were awarded the Brit Honour for Best British Group.[72] That same year, Tolhurst filed a lawsuit against Smith and Fiction Records in 1991 over royalties payments and claimed that he and Smith jointly endemic the name "the Cure"; the verdict was handed out in September 1994 in favour of Smith.

In respite from the lawsuit, the band returned to the studio to tape their side by side anthology.[73] Wish (1992) reached number i in the United kingdom and number two in the US and yielded the international hits "High" and "Friday I'1000 in Dearest".[32] [53] The album was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Anthology in 1993.[74] In the fall of 1993, the band released ii live albums, Show and Paris, featuring recordings from concerts on their world Wish tour.[75] [76]

Between the release of Wish and the start of sessions for the Cure'southward next studio album, the band'southward line-up shifted again.[77] Thompson left the band to play with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin,[78] [79] Bamonte took over as atomic number 82 guitarist,[79] and O'Donnell returned to play keyboards.[77] Boris Williams also left the band and was replaced past Jason Cooper (formerly of My Life Story).[79]

1994–1998: Transition [edit]

In 1994 the band equanimous the original song "Burn" for the soundtrack to the movie The Crow, which went to number 1 on the Billboard 200 album charts.[eighty]

The sessions for the new album began in 1994 with only Smith and Bamonte nowadays; the pair were later joined by Gallup (who was recovering from physical problems) and keyboardist O'Donnell, who had been asked to rejoin the band at the end of 1994.[81] Cooper as well participated in the recording of the album.[82]

Wild Mood Swings, finally released in 1996, was poorly received compared with previous albums and marked the stop of the ring's commercial superlative.[83] Early in 1996, the Cure played festivals in South America, followed by a world tour in support of the album. In 1997 the band released Galore, a compilation album containing all of the Cure's singles released between 1987 and 1997, as well as the new single "Wrong Number", which featured longtime David Bowie guitarist Reeves Gabrels.[84]

In 1998 the Cure contributed the song "More Than This" to the soundtrack for The X-Files film, every bit well as a cover of "World in My Optics" for the Depeche Mode tribute anthology For the Masses.[85]

1999–2005: The Trilogy and line-upwardly changes [edit]

With only one album left in their record contract and with commercial response to Wild Mood Swings and the Galore compilation lacklustre, Smith in one case once more considered that the end of the Cure might exist near and thus wanted to make an album that reflected the more than serious side of the band.[86] The Grammy-nominated anthology Bloodflowers was released in 2000 after beingness delayed since 1998.[87] According to Smith, the album was the tertiary of a trilogy along with Pornography and Disintegration.[88] The band also embarked on the nine-month Dream Bout, which included 20 dates in the United States.[89] In 2001, the Cure left Fiction and released their Greatest Hits album and DVD, which featured the music videos for a number of classic Cure songs.[90] The ring released The Cure: Trilogy every bit a double live album video, on two double layer DVD-9 discs, and subsequently on a unmarried Blu-ray disc.

Previously O'Donnell said he had only found out most the ring's upcoming tour dates via a fan site and added, "It was sad to find out after almost twenty years the way I did, but then I should have expected no less or more."[97] The remaining members of the band—Smith, Gallup and Cooper—made several appearances as a trio[91] before Porl Thompson returned to the Cure'south lineup for their summer 2005 bout.[98] In July 2005, the ring performed a set at the Paris concert of the Live eight series of benefit concerts.[99]

We'll stop it before we start in the summertime, and information technology'll be mixed through the summer. And then so release engagement, I don't know, October? Halloween!

In March 2022, Smith revealed the title of the band's forthcoming anthology as Songs of a Lost Globe and said due to vinyl delays the earliest information technology will be released is September 2022, but that he would "rather it just come out" because he "can't stand up the anticipation". He likewise confirmed he had chosen the artwork and track listing, and mixing is "scheduled to begin in April".[131]

Musical style [edit]

The Cure are often identified with the gothic rock genre, and are viewed equally one of the form'due south definitive bands.[132] [133] [134] Nevertheless, the band has routinely rejected classification, particularly as a gothic rock band. Robert Smith said in 2006, "It's so pitiful when 'goth' is still tagged onto the proper noun the Cure", and added, "We're not categorisable. I suppose nosotros were post-punk when nosotros came out, simply in full information technology's impossible [...] I simply play Cure music, whatever that is."[135] While typically viewed as producers of dark and gloomy music, the Cure take also yielded a number of upbeat songs and been part of the new wave movement.[136] Spin has said "the Cure have always been an either/or sort of band: either [...] Robert Smith is wallowing in gothic sadness or he'southward licking sticky-sweet cotton-candy pop off his lipstick-stained fingers."[137]

The Cure'south primary musical traits have been listed every bit "ascendant, melodic bass lines; whiny, strangulated vocals; and a lyric obsession with existential, almost literary despair."[138] Most Cure songs first with Smith and Gallup writing the pulsate parts and bass lines. Both record demos at home so bring them into the studio for fine-tuning.[139] Smith said in 1992, "I think when people talk about the 'Cure sound', they mean songs based on six-string bass, audio-visual guitar and my vox, plus the string sound from the Solina."[139] On top of this foundation is laid "towering layers of guitars and synthesisers".[140] Keyboards have been a component of the band'south sound since Seventeen Seconds, and their importance increased with the instrument's extensive use on Disintegration.[141]

Music videos [edit]

The band's early music videos take been described equally "dreadful affairs" and have been maligned for their poor quality, specially by the band itself. Tolhurst said, "Those videos were unmitigated disasters; we weren't actors and our personalities weren't coming across."[142] The video for "Let'south Become to Bed" was their first collaboration with Tim Pope. The director added a playful chemical element to the band's videos; the managing director insisted in a 1987 Spin interview, "I think that side of them was e'er there, merely was never brought out."[25]

Pope would go on to straight the majority of the Cure's videos, which became synonymous with the ring, and expanded their audience during the 1980s.[143] Pope explained the appeal of working with the Cure by maxim, "the Cure is the ultimate band for a filmmaker to work with considering Robert Smith actually understands the camera. His songs are so cinematic. I hateful on 1 level there's this stupidity and sense of humour, correct, but below that there are all [Smith'south] psychological obsessions and claustrophobia."[144]

Legacy [edit]

The Cure were 1 of the first alternative bands to accept chart and commercial success in an era earlier alternative rock had broken into the mainstream. In 1992, NME declared the Cure had, during the 1980s, become "a goth hitting machine (19 to date), an international phenomenon and, yet, the most successful culling ring that ever shuffled disconsolately about the earth".[65] Equally a leading figure of gothic stone, NME made Smith the cover artist in their 2004 edition, Originals: Goth.[145]

Interpol lead vocaliser Paul Banks was quoted as maxim, "the Cure is the band that all of us in Interpol tin say influenced u.s.. When I was younger I listened to them a lot. Carlos likewise. Actually, he took a straight influence from this band on the manner he played the bass and the keys. To me, Robert Smith is too one of these examples: yous can't be Robert Smith if you're non Robert Smith. It's one of the bands with the deepest influence on Interpol, because nosotros all like them. They're legendary."[146] The Cure were also a formative influence on the Cracking Pumpkins. Frontman Billy Corgan has named the Cure as a chief influence,'[147] and drummer Mike Byrne described himself as a "huge Cure fan."[148]
