The Cure Music Review
By:Leslie

The Cure is an English Rock Band formed in Crawley, West Sussex
in 1976 mostly considered as a 1900's rock band or Gothic band
they are a very famous band from England and mainly around the world
first begging releasing music in the late 1970s with their debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the Gothic rock genre.

After the release of Pornography realeased in 1982, the band's future
was uncertain and Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation
his band had acquired. With the 1982 single "Let's Go to Bed" Smith began
to inject more of a pop sensibility into the band's music. The Cure's
popularity increased as the decade wore on, especially in the United States where the songs "Just Like Heaven", "Lovesong" and "Friday I'm in Love" entered the Billboard Hot 100 charts. By the start of the 1990s, The Cure were one of themost popular alternative rock bands in the world.

In February 2008 The Cure kicked off the 23 date European leg of ‘The 4Tour’, and
in May released “The Only One”, the first of 4 singles to be released every 13th of
the month for 4 months. “Freakshow”, “Sleep When I’m Dead” and “The Perfect Boy”
followed, and as the band continued ‘The 4Tour’ with a sell-out 27 date North American
leg, all 4 singles reached #1 on the Billboard chart. Indeed, for one remarkable week in
August, 4 Cure singles were in the USA Top 20 at the same time!

The Cure has inspired a lot of artist into doing some of their greatest work going from
September the “Hypnagogic States” EP was released, featuring remixes of the first 4
singles by acclaimed younger artists Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), Pete Wentz
& Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy), Jade Puget (AFI) and 30 Seconds To Mars. 4Tour support
band 65 Days Of Static joined in the fun, remixing all four singles as one track. All artist
royalties from this EP were donated to the International Red Cross
