The Cure is a British rock band widely seen as one of the leading pioneers of the British alternative rock & post-punk scenes of the 1980s. The band is often considered as being part of the Gothic genre, possibly because of lead singer Robert Smiths image, but Smith rejects this, saying that he considers the band to be mainstream. In 1976 Robert Smith, a 17-year-old student, formed The Easy Cure with classmates Michael Dempsey, Lol Tolhurst & Porl Thompson from St. Wilfrids Catholic Comprehensive School in Crawley, Sussex. They began writing their own songs almost immediately & quickly amassed both an impressive repertoire of original material & a growing following. In 1977, The Easy Cure auditioned for Hansa Records & received a recording contract worth £1000. A year later, following disagreements about the direction the group should take, the newly named The Cure were signed as a trio by former Polydor records scout Chris Parry s new Fiction label.
