Biography

Of all the bands that emerged in the immediate aftermath of punk rock in the late '70s, the Cure were one of the most enduring and popular. As one of the bands that laid the seeds for goth rock, the Cure created towering layers of guitars and synthesizers. The band became notorious for its slow, gloomy dirges and guitarist/vocalist Robert Smith's ghoulish appearance, but the public image often hid the diversity of the Cure's music. By the end of the '80s, they had crossed over into the mainstream not only in their native England, but also internationally. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
