"The Cure" emerged in the post-punk 70s and defied all expectations to launch a marathon career marked by hit records. This work is a biography of these post punk survivors. It traces the roots in middle-class Crawley, Sussex and tracks their gradual rise, revealing how their first album ended the band before their multi-platinum career began.
"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. "Never Enough" is the first major, definitive biography of these post punk survivors. It 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 and 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.
