| The
very first in-depth biography on The Cure explores nearly thirty years
of one of rock’s most enduring and influential bands. Formed as The
Easy Cure in 1976 by school friends Robert Smith, Lol Tolhurst and
Michael Dempsey, The Cure were one of the first post-punk bands to
inject pure pop back into post-Pistols rock. Throughout a career filled
with paradox and evolution, endless personnel changes, and side-projects
including stints with Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Glove, iconic
frontman Robert Smith has kept awake and alive to changes in the music
scene around The Cure. In their third decade they remain relevant and
connected, when many of their contemporaries are reduced to nostalgia
packages and worse. This full-length, extensively researched biography
of the band, and of Smith – one of rock’s most enduring figures - is
the most up-to-date telling of a never-ending story; it also analyses in
depth the ‘goth’ subculture and its relationship with The Cure. |
