The Cure Has Always Been An Alternative And Very Independent Band Which Was Evident From The Early Days. Shunning The Anarchistic Tendencies Of Many Punk Bands After Their Formation In 1976 The Cure's First Release Was Killing An Arab Based On Material From French Writer Albert Camus' "L'Etranger" Translated Into English As The Stranger Or The Outsider . This Track Courted Controversy Because Of Its Theme Misinterpreted As Racist It Was In Fact About The Futility Of Killing Any Ethnicity But It Started To Secure A Small Following Which Grew Following The Release Of Debut Album Three Imaginary Boys And Non-LP Single Boys Don't Cry In 1979 The Latter Of Which Would Become One Of The Cure's Most Famous Songs. At That Time The Cure Embarked On Tour As The Support For Siouxsie & The Banshees' Join Hands Tour. After The Sudden Departure Of Guitarist John McKay Robert Was Recruited As Guitarist For The Banshees As The Band 'felt He Was The Only Person Capable Of Taking On The Task.' As A Result Robert Completed The Tour Playing Two Sets A Night With The Cure And Siouxsie And The Banshees. Following This The Cure Moved From Their Punk Leanings Into The Portentous Post-Punk Territory Releasing Three Albums Of Doom-Laden Rock In Three Years Seventeen Seconds Faith And Pornography The Latter Of Which Charted Inside The UK Top 10 Though The Band Were Repeatedly Dogged By The "Second-Class Joy Division" Tag. Following Their Third Set Of Line-Up Changes The Group Released Japanese Whispers A Compilation Of Three Singles And Their B-Sides. Through Their Desire To Escape The Joy Division Description The Singles Were A Poppier Effort Featuring Danceable Tracks Like Let's Go To Bed Alongside Pop Songs Like Love Cats. Following The Commercial Disappointment Of Follow-Up Album The Top In 1984 The Cure Returned To Form With 1985's The Head On The Door. Featuring The Singles In Between Days And Close To Me The Head On The Door Was Distant From The Band's Punk Roots Having More In Common With Successful Alternative Bands Like The Smiths And Echo & The Bunnymen Than Their Gloomier Roots. Two Years Later The Eighth Studio Album Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me Was A More Stadium-Sized Effort Though Featuring Audacious Pop Songs Like Why Can't I Be You It Was Seemingly Caught Between Two Styles. However It Was The Band's Ninth Effort Following The Departure Of Last Surviving Founder Member Other Than Robert Smith Lol Tolhurst Disintegration That Would Be Their Greatest Success Both Critically And Commercially. Disintegration Spawned Hit Singles Like Lullaby No.5 In The UK Love Song An Impressive No. 2 In The USA Pictures Of You And Fascination Street. The Album Itself Was A Culmination Of The Cure's Directions Through The Eighties Featuring The Poppier Side Combined With The More Tender Aspects As Well As The Gloomier Facets. Following This A Remix Compilation Named Mixed Up Was Released In 1990 Featuring One New Track Never Enough And Two Years Later Tenth Studio Album Wish Surfaced Which Was A Hit Mainly From The Momentum Gained By Disintegration Though It Also Featured Their Most Famous Pop Song Friday I'm In Love No.6 In The UK And No.18 In The US . During The Years Following This The Band Became Distracted And Discouraged By The Lawsuit Launched By Former Member Lol Tolhurst Who Felt He Had Been Deprived Of Royalties. As A Result The 1996 Album Wild Mood Swings Felt Unfocused And Was A Critical And Commercial Failure Though The Single Mint Car Was A Moderate Hit. In 1997 The Cure Released The Compilation Galore Featuring New Song Wrong Number. Three Years Later At The Release Of Original Album Bloodflowers Robert Smith Announced It Would Be The Last Album For The Band The Album Itself Being A Return To The Gloomier Rock Of Pornography And Faith. Resultantly Another Hits Compilation Was Released In 2001. However In 2004 The Band Surprised All By Returning With A Self-Titled Album Their Twelfth Studio Album Which Was A Surprise Hit Reaching The US Top 10 Its Lead Single - The End Of The World - Becoming A Modest Hit On Modern Rock Radio And Receiving A Relatively Warm Reception From The Press. In May 2005 Smith Fired Roger O'Donnell And Perry Bamonte From The Band Along With Bamonte's Brother Daryl Who Had Been The Cure's Tour Manager For Many Years. The Remaining Members Of The Band Robert Smith Longtime Bassist Simon Gallup And Jason Cooper Made A Few Appearances As A Trio Before It Was Announced That Founding Member Porl Thompson Would Be Returning To The Cure. In Early 2007 The Band Toured Asia And Oceania But A Planned North American Tour In Autumn 2007 Was Delayed Until Spring 2008 So The Band Could Continue Recording Their Next Album. The Band Released Their Thirteenth Album 4 13 Dream On 27 October 2008. Four Singles And A Remix EP Called "Hypnagogic States" Were Releases On The 13th Of Each Month Preceding The Album's Release.
