Simon Price - Curepedia: The Story Of The Cure (Signed Book) Simon Price

A Rough Trade and a Guardian Music Book of the Year

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.

Simon Price is a highly-experienced British music journalist whose career includes nine years as one of the main feature writers at Melody Maker and twelve as the senior Rock & Pop Critic for the Independent On Sunday newspaper. He first became a fan of The Cure as a teenager in the 1980s, and has written about them several times since, for various publications.
