Led by depressive pop prince Robert Smith, the Cure have taken their legions of fans on a journey from post-punk to gothic to new wave to art rock, stopping only for refills of hairspray along the way. An amazing band both live and in the studio, the Cure may have shifted its line-up numerous times, but Smith has remained a consistently fascinating rock icon throughout the changes. The group's most popular work was recorded in the 1980s, but it has held up incredibly well, leading to continued tours and albums despite exaggerated rumours of their demise.

Back with a new album in September, the Cure have decided to release a new single every month before the album release "13" on the 13th of each month.
