Daryl Bamonte podcast

The SuperSwell Podcast

EP15: Daryl Bamonte - From The Council Estate to The Stadium Stage

"As well as his work with Basildon's finest, Daryl's touring career extended to a similar role with Hall of Famers, The Cure, where his brother, Perry, had taken a similar path - going from g tech to full-time member of the band - and we hear about the fantastic connections between these seminal British acts."

New music on Robert Smith's birthday?

As we know now, no, looks like the announcement is April 21st, release on June 13th.



Robert Smith turns 66 on Monay, and The Cure's "MOALW": "Mixes of a Lost World" is also scheduled to be released that same day.

Rolling Stone Editorial Staff
 
A social media post by The Cure is causing joy among fans of Robert Smith and the band. On Friday (April 18), the Cure posted two photos and a snippet captioned "IV-XXI-MMXXV," which would have been Robert Smith's 66th birthday on April 21, 2025. In the past, the Cure boss has used his birthday to release albums (like "Wish" in 1992), thus giving himself and us presents.

The first image shows a mixing console. On it is a cassette tape cover (Note: This is wrong, it's the back of the ipod.) and the labels "Cure" and "MOALW." This could/should be the abbreviation for "Mixes of a Lost World." A remix album of the eight songs from the studio album "Songs of a Lost World," released last November.

Image two shows an iPod Classic, Robert Smith's favorite storage device (he said in an interview that he has several). Zooming in on the display reveals song titles like "All I Ever Am" with the remix caption "65 Slow Chord Version."

Finally, photo 3 shows a short music video, probably a remix of a Cure song from “Songs of a Lost World”.


Here's a closer look at those images:

Interview with Reeves

“It’s a special kind of moment when you hit that first note of a solo and you literally get nothing.” He’s played with David Bowie and the Cure, but Reeves Gabrels says things don’t always go right, even for the pros."

"That’s what makes live shows so extraordinary," the guitarist says. "You’re always on the high wire”
