New Cure Stuff

________________________________________________________

 

***  NEW ALBUM to be released soon! (2007) ***

No decisions on what the CD will be titled as of yet.  Suretone now has the Cure on their roster as part of a brand new, alternative-rock oriented line-up, along w/ a handful of other hot acts who will no doubt benefit from the split w/ Jordan Shur's former label, Geffen (now focusing on hip-hop). 

 

After being pressed about the feel of the new album, Smith said he "hated bands who bigged up their new records"  but felt like they had enough good material to make a new album worthwhile.  The present line-up will be a stripped down Cure, with no keyboards and feature the eagerly anticipated return of Porl Thompson, former Cure guitar maestro.

Robert on 'Three Imaginary Boys'...
"The Three Imaginary Boys re-issue is actually just the start of a programme of re-issuing all of our back catalogue and it will have the same care and attention lavished on it. Three Imaginary Boys is now exactly as we heard it in the studio when we recorded it.
'It's great to have it sounding like it should again."(Scottish Daily Record, November 19th 2004.
