Curepedia : An A-Z of The Cure
The Cure - Book - by Simon Price
(2023)
The
Cure are arguably the biggest alternative rock band in the world.
Between 1985 and 2000 every album they released went to at least Gold in
the UK, the US or both. In America they have earned four Platinum
albums, and they are estimated to have sold 30 million albums worldwide.
Their
iconic status as elder statesmen of Alternative Rock remains
undiminished - if anything, their tireless touring has ensured that it
has grown with every passing year - and lead singer Robert Smith is an
endlessly fascinating figure to successive generations of fans. The
Cure's influence reverberates through genres including Emo, Goth,
Industrial and Indie Rock. The book is an encyclopaedic A-Z of The Cure
examining and riffing on miscellaneous trivia, biographies of the band
members past and present, summaries of each album and selected songs,
details of the band's various tours and films, and essays on broader
topics such as their image, their politics and their influences.
Playful,
eccentric and irreverent - true to the spirit of the band itself -
CUREPEDIA is a comprehensive biography of one of the biggest alternative
rock bands in the world. The hardback edition features interior pages
printed in red and black ink, a ribbon marker, and bespoke C-U-R-E
letter endpapers specially designed by Andy Vella - celebrated artist
and collaborator (as part of Parched Art) with The Cure on their album
artwork for four decades.
