Book Synopsis

The Cure emerged in the post-punk 70s and defied all expectations to launch a marathon career marked by hit records and a string of sell-out arena shows. In 2004, after numerous personnel changes, the band delivered their Greatest Hits album in 2004.

This biography traces the roots in middle-class Crawley, Sussex and tracks their gradual rise, revealing how their first major album Pornography, almost ended the band well before their multi-platinum career began. It also documents Smith's escape into the Siouxsie & The Banshees camp during the Eighties, his experimentation with every drug ('bar smack'). His reluctance to return to The Cure which would eventually lead to them becoming superstars, not only on both sides of the Atlantic but all around the globe.
Jeff Apter is an Australian-based music writer, who had been reporting on popular culture for the past 15 years. He spent five years as the Music Editor at Australian Rolling Stone. This is his third book, the first two being on The Red Hot Chili Peppers (published by Omnibus Press) and Silverchair.

    I have read a couple of book's about The cure, and some of the book's I have read seem to leave you feeling very unsatisfied really . It always seems that the full story is lost somewhere perhaps in translation . I find it very unsettling when a book only takes you so far exspecially when it is a biography ! It leaves you feeling very desperate and longing for more but, not in a good way at all but, more in a very dreadful unfulfilled sort of way. When you choose to read a biography it is usually because, you are extremely interested in that person etc … Which means you already know a quite a lot about them so, the bio should be all the things you already might know but in more embellished sort of way , with loads more of detail that you might not be aware of . Not just the same exact thing over and over in every single book about the person. I have read all the book's about The Cure and, I really would love to add this is my top pick out of the three that I have read . I felt like the story and the infromation was given and concluded rightly . I felt satisfied, warm and hopeful as a fan. It didn't leave me hanging in 1986 . I loved this book, I could not put it down untill the very last word. It took me into the beautifully strange world of The Cure and frontman Robert Smith himself , fantastically dark , witty and it really demonstrates how quite beautiful Smith really is .
