The Cure - Short Biography

- The Cure is an English rock band formed in 1978 in Crawley, West Sussex.
- Robert Smith has been the only consistent member of the band since its formation.
- The band's first album, Three Imaginary Boys (1979), contributed to the post-punk and new wave movements in the UK.
