The Cure are arguably the biggest alternative rock band in the
world. Their popularity is not limited to any one country, or even
continent. 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.
