Robert Smith grew up in working-class Crawley, Sussex, a suburb of London. He recalls his childhood years as difficult, a time of run-ins with his parents and the law. At 17 he formed the Easy Cure with childhood friends Laurence Tolhurst and Michael Dempsey as a sort of catharsis for his feelings of frustration. The group's music has remained therapeutic for Smith.

The Cure made its initial splash in the U.K. with the 1979 single "Killing an Arab," which stirred controversy when it reappeared on the mid-'80s retrospective Standing on a Beach: The Singles. Some U.S. radio DJs used the song, which was inspired by Albert Camus' The Stranger, to advance anti-Arab sentiments; the group included a disclaimer with subsequent pressings stating that the song "decries the existence of all prejudice and consequent violence."

While the Cure toured in 1979 as the support act to Siouxsie and the Banshees, the headliner's guitarist quit the band. Smith was recruited to fill in on the tour, beginning an active collaboration with the Banshees. He ultimately devoted much of 1983–84 as a full-time member of the band, recording both the live Nocturne and a studio album, Hyaena. In 1983, he also joined Banshees bassist Steve Severin for a side project called the Glove, releasing one album, Blue Sunshine.

When Smith once again devoted himself to the Cure, the music evolved from the sparse punk pop of that song and other early singles ("Boys Don't Cry," "Jumping Someone Else's Train," "The Lovecats") to the dirgy, moody music of Faith and Seventeen Seconds, to the more focused hits on the later albums Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Disintegration, and Wish.

While the Cure had been a top hit-making indie band in the U.K. since the early-80s, it wasn't until the release of Standing on a Beach (and its CD-only counterpart, Staring at the Sea) (Number 48, 1986) that the band moved beyond its cult status in the U.S. The double-album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (Number 35) debuted in June 1987, spawning the minor hits "Why Can't I Be You?" (Number 54, 1987), "Just Like Heaven" (Number 40, 1987), and "Hot Hot Hot!!!" (Number 65, 1988). In 1989, Disintegration reached Number 12 and included the group's biggest hit yet, "Love Song" (Number Two). Wish is the band's most successful album to date, reaching Number Two and including the surprisingly upbeat "Friday I'm in Love" (Number 18). The subsequent tour was documented on record and a film, both titled Show (an additional live collection, Paris, culled from the same tour was also released in 1993).

In 1996 the Cure released Wild Mood Swings (Number 12), which attempted to broaden the band's sound to include a track of Latin-flavored pop, earning mostly negative reviews, and with "The 13th" (Number 44) its highest-charting single. Another best-of, Galore (Number 32), followed in 1997. Three years later, Smith unveiled the Cure's best-reviewed album in years, Bloodflowers (Number 16, 2000), the third part of a trilogy they began with Pornography and Disintegration. That same year, the Cure launched a world tour by announcing it would be the band's last. But Smith soon began to hedge on that promise, saying all the subsequent attention and sudden acclaim made him strangely...happy.

In 2001, the band released a greatest hits album and DVD on Polydor and toured extensively, doing a series of performances of Pornography, Disintegration and Bloodflowers for a set of DVDs, The Cure: Trilogy, released in 2003. The following year, the band released a four-disc, seventy-song boxed set, Join the Dots: B-Sides and Rarities, 1978-2001 (The Fiction Years) (Number 106, 2004). Meanwhile, the Cure signed with Geffen Records and began its new life on the label with an album titled simply The Cure (Number 7, 2004). That year, MTV honored the band with its Icon award. In 2005, the Cure recorded a version of John Lennon's "Love" for an Amnesty International charity album. In October 2008, the Cure released their thirteenth studio album, 4:13 Dream. ]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.835&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss Hard Rock Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:21:18 -0700 Top Goth Artists on Rhapsody Online art.835 art.835 The Cult art.835 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.835&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.835&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss Dreamtime, under the abbreviated "The Cult" moniker, to mascara'd mystic Goth rock of Love.

Not that this seems to have fazed Editors, who have no qualms about discussing their formation at Staffordshire University, a distinctly unfashionable seat of higher education. They also remain undaunted that they're firmly domiciled in Birmingham, England's out-of-favor second city. Indeed, these resolutely anti-hipster, anti rock 'n' roll stances have possibly fired alienated hearts with enthusiasm for their bleak, driving and remorselessly serious take on jerky, Joy Division-inspired post-punk. Signing to Newcastle label Kitchenware in late 2004, Editors scored a neat PR coup by selling out their first single, "Bullets," in only 24 hours -- a remarkable feat, until you learn that just 500 singles were pressed up. However, the band's rise was firmly fixed when "Munich," their second single, catapulted them into the UK Top 30. That set the scene for "Blood," their propulsive follow-up single, (which went Top-20) and their debut album, The Back Room.

You could call Nico a singer-songwriter, but her husky croon owed very little to American folk, rock and soul. She crafted a challenging form of art pop that looked to European modernism for inspiration. The Marble Index, released in 1969, is considered to be her peak as an artist.

With just enough rock elements to keep the spectral figures out on the dancefloor on the brink of a sweat, "A Day" and "Agonised by Love" mopped up puddles of tears and wrung them out in gentle waves of stacked synths. During the 1990s, Pieter Nooten essentially monopolized the direction Xymox took, leading them out of the funereal shadows and into brighter Dance Pop pastures. Go lightly should you care to follow Xymox through albums such as Metamorphosis and Headclouds, for the way is well manured. After a brief period of lying fallow, the once-again Clan of Xymox re-emerged in 1999 with Creatures, a welcome return to lonely Gothic moors worn to dirt by the dancing feet of night creatures. - Chad Driscoll]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.73&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss Goth Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:39:17 -0800 Top Goth Artists on Rhapsody Online art.73 art.73 Switchblade Symphony art.73 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.73&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.73&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1106&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss Goth Sun, 6 Sep 2009 09:41:35 -0700 Top Goth Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1106 art.1106 Fields of the Nephilim art.1106 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1106&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1106&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44274&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss Goth Mon, 7 Sep 2009 09:55:30 -0700 Top Goth Artists on Rhapsody Online art.44274 art.44274 The Cruxshadows art.44274 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44274&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44274&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2458&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss Goth Fri, 14 Nov 2008 11:59:26 -0800 Top Goth Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2458 art.2458 Love Spirals Downwards art.2458 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2458&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2458&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4142&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient Sat, 20 Jun 2009 09:06:25 -0700 Top Goth Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4142 art.4142 Black Tape for a Blue Girl art.4142 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4142&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4142&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1379&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss Goth Fri, 7 Aug 2009 09:42:26 -0700 Top Goth Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1379 art.1379 The Creatures art.1379 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1379&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1379&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss Wild Things EP, a raw recording of frantic tribal drums, mallet instruments and Sioux's unmistakable voice. She easily carries the melodic burden, gliding from seductive coos to ferocious growls to near-operatic wails. The Creature's sounds are extraordinarily sensuous, perfectly matching their physical presence. Like audio erotica, Budgie's rhythms follow a deeply human, libidinal pace as Sioux's vocals drip like condensation off an orchid's petal. Over the last two decades, they've also incorporated increasingly wider instrumentation. In the late '90s their output was explosive, creating albums and dance tracks without cessation. - Marc Kate]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3071&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fgoth%2Fartist-chart.rss
