The Cure

"Lovesong" performing group

The Cure is an English rock band formed in 1976, known for gothic and post-punk music with introspective, often melancholic lyrics.

Led by singer Robert Smith, the band influenced alternative rock through songs like "Boys Don't Cry" and "Lovesong." I've been listening to The Cure since high school.
