The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex, in 1978. The band members have changed several times, and guitarist, lead vocalist, and songwriter Robert Smith is the only constant member. The band’s debut album was Three Imaginary Boys (1979) and this, along with several early singles, placed the band in the post-punk and new wave movements that had sprung up in the United Kingdom. Beginning with their second album, Seventeen Seconds (1980), the band adopted a new, increasingly dark and tormented style, which, together with Smith’s stage look, had a strong influence on the emerging genre of gothic rock as well as the subculture that eventually formed around the genre. Following the release of their fourth album Pornography in 1982, the band’s future was uncertain. Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had acquired, introducing a greater pop sensibility into the band’s music. Songs such as “Let’s Go to Bed“ (1982), “The Love Cats“ (1983), “Inbetween Days“ (1985), “Close To Me“ (1985), “Just Like Heaven“ (1987), “Lovesong“ (1989), and “Friday I’m in Love“ (1992) aided the band in receiving commercial popularity. The band have released 13 studio albums, two EPs and over 30 singles to date. The Cure were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
