The Cure

The Cure is an English punk/pop/rock group that's been around for over 20 years and defies easy description. The band members have changed through the years, but the lead singer/mastermind/lyricist Robert Smith has been the constant. I'd heard the Cure throughout my life, but I'd never owned their music or considered myself a fan. This summer I got hooked on "Lovesong" and started listening to more of their music. I highly recommend Galore if you are new to the Cure.

I tend to lean towards the girly love songs, but that's just because of the mood I was in at the time.

The Cure currently consists of Robert Smith (voice, guitar), Simon Gallup (bass), Perry Bamonte (guitar), Roger O'Donnell (keyboards) and Jason Cooper (drums).

From the official website:

...It all started in 1976 when Robert, a 17 year old attending St Wilfrid's Comprehensive in Crawley, Sussex, formed The Easy Cure with schoolmates Michael Dempsey (bass), Lol Tolhurst (drums) and local guitar hero Porl Thompson. The 4-piece began writing and demoing their own songs almost immediately, and quickly amassed an impressive repertoire of original material that included such seminal classics as 'Killing an Arab' and '10:15 Saturday Night.'
