About this listen
A Guardian Music Book of the Year
'Beautifully written and meticulously researched' Classic Pop
'[An] all-encompassing repository of Cure wisdom' Record Collector
The Cure are indisputable titans of alternative rock. Recognisable as much for their iconic aesthetic, videos and artwork as for the lyrical and musical genius of Robert Smith, The Cure's work remains hugely influential on contemporary pop culture. It reverberates through fans of all generations worldwide and through genres ranging from emo to goth, industrial to indie rock.
In this fully updated edition of Curepedia, Simon Price sifts through the facts, the myths and the tall tales around The Cure, their recording history and epic tours, to deliver a uniquely kaleidoscopic portrait of the legendary band and a book that has been praised as the definitive document and account of their remarkable career.
'An extraordinary piece of work' Elis James
'A pleasure to study and absorb - highly recommended' Tim Burgess©2023 Simon Price (P)2023 Orion Publishing Group Limited
