The Cure - Band Profile

September 23rd, 2008 by Indiemonkey

The Cure

Nobody does punk and gothic rock better than The Cure. Iconic frontman Robert Smith is famed for his mad hair, eyeliner and lipstick and depressing, yet still incredibly catchy songs.

The Cure were founded in England in 1976 and were initially called The Easy Cure. Their first album Three Imaginary Boys was released in 1979, and they followed this with a tour with Siouxie and the Banshees. Second album Seventeen Seconds was released in 1980 and was seen as much darker and atmospheric than Three Imaginary Boys. Faith was released in 1981 and Pornography was released in 1982 -this became the band’s first UK Top Ten.

The Top was released in 1984, an album where Smith played all the instruments apart from the drums and saxophone. The Head on the Door was released in 1985, an album which included In Between Days and Close to Me.

In 1987 double album Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me was released, which included Just Like Heaven and Why Can’t I Be You? The dark-sounding Disintegration was released in 1989.

After dealing with a lawsuit regarding royalties owed to a former band owner, Wish was released in 1994. Wild Mood Swings was released in 1996, but this album received a lot of negative reviews. Bloodflowers was released in 2000 and self-titled album The Cure was released in 2004.

The Cure’s as-yet-untitled thirteenth album is set to be released on the 13th of September 2008 - to promote this, they are releasing singles on the 13th of the month in the run-up to September. The Only One was released on the 13th of May.

The Cure have released twelve albums: Three Imaginary Boys (1979), Seventeen Seconds (1980), Faith (1981), Pornography (1982), The Top (1984), The Head on the Door (1985), Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987), Disintegration (1989), Wish (1992), Wild Mood Swings (1996)Bloodflowers (2000) and The Cure (2004)  (Click to Buy cds)

Guns n Roses

Okay, it seems like we’ve been waiting for centuries for Axl Rose to finally finish Chinese Democracy, and there has been a revolving lineup of band members, but back in the day Guns n Roses were one of the most awesome bands in the world.

The band formed in 1985 and although there have been several members, the key players include Izzy Stradlin, Slash (who is seen as one of the best and most iconic guitarists in the world) and Buckethead (who played with a KFC bucket on his head)

Their debut album was Appetite for Destruction which was released in 1987. This album included Welcome to the Jungle and Sweet Child O’Mine. Second album GN’R lies was released in 1988. Two albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II were released in 1991 and debuted at number two and number one respectively on the American Billboard chart.

In 1993 the band released “The Spaghetti Incident?” which was a collection of cover verisions. It controversially featured a cover of a Charles Manson song.

Axl Rose and the new lineup of Guns n Roses are currently working on latest album Chinese Democracy. The release date for this album is currently unknown, although it has been speculated that it will be released in 2008.

Guns n Roses have released five albums: Appetite for Destruction (1987), GN’R Lies (1988), Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II (1991) and “The Spaghetti Incident?” (1993) (Buy cd’s)
