From BRIT Awards:
‘Just Like Heaven’, the single by The Cure , is now #BRITcertified 2x Platinum.
From NME:
Songs like ‘Fire With Fire’ have a goth-y The Cure vibe to them, and there’s a touch of Depeche Mode to ‘All In A Life’…
“That’s right. There were a couple of Cure-y moments on ‘Fever Dreams’ too, like ‘Aerial’.”
You’ve done the work to erase the imagined division between Smiths fans and Cure fans…
“Oh yeah! Apparently that’s a thing. When The Cure came out, I thought of Robert Smith as a guitar player. He’s a frontman, but what he was doing on ‘Seventeen Seconds’ was really very much on his own and really on point. That was a few years before I came out. I saw them a couple of times when I was 16 or 17 and really liked them.
Very proud to announce that we raised over $72k for @StJude and RnR Boxer rescue in our @SchecterGuitars 50th Anniversary Charity auction with over $34k coming from @thecure ‘s Robert Smith guitars 🙏⚜️🙏
