by Simon Price (Author)
A complete and truly unique music biography of Robert Smith and company, The Cure, chronicling their 40+ year history with hundreds of entries in an A-to-Z encyclopedia fashion.
Definitive and deeply researched by acclaimed music journalist Simon Price, Curepedia will surprise and inform fans of 80s music everywhere as they await The Cure's highly anticipated next album release.
The Cure remain, 40 plus years into their career, one of the biggest rock bands in the world. With a sound that defined the post-punk and gothic rock movements, 12 studio albums, and tours that pack stadiums all over the world--including their recent sold out series across North America in Spring/Summer 2023--they were the first alternative band to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in 2019 by Trent Reznor. Their influence is heard in bands as wide ranging as Twilight Sad to Interpol to My Chemical Romance.
Amidst the record-setting Shows of a Lost World Tour winding down, acclaimed music journalist Simon Price has crafted a first-of-its-kind band biography that will satisfy the legion of fans eagerly awaiting The Cure's new album. Curepedia is a career-spanning and in-depth A-to-Z encyclopedia of Robert Smith and company, chronicling their 40-plus-year history with hundreds of entries.
Presented in a two-color format, with four-color endpapers designed by long-time Cure collaborator Andy Vella, Curepedia is a full-scale work of music history and a deep dive into the long list of members, current and past, unknown facts, tours, descriptions of every album, song, films, as well as entries on the image of the band, their influence, their style, and their enduring legacy. This beautifully packaged book, celebrating one of the most enduring and beloved rock bands, Curepedia will be the perfect introduction for new fans, and a must-have for the obsessive as well.
This essential A-to-Z companion to The Cure includes:
- A-to-Z Entries: Explore every facet of the band from albums and B-sides to legendary tours, iconic videos, and every member past and present.
- Authoritative Music Journalism: Written by acclaimed music journalist Simon Price, offering a deeply researched and definitive account of the band's 40-plus-year journey.
- Influence and Legacy: Delve into the band's impact on gothic and post-punk music, their unique style, and their enduring legacy as rock and roll royalty.
