The Cure is a legendary and influential alternative rock band which formed during the punk era of the 1970s in Crawley, England. The band started playing together in 1976 while Robert Smith and Laurence Tolhurst were still in secondary school. It remains one of the most enduring bands of the last thirty years; as proven by receiving the 'Godlike Geniuses' award at the Shockwaves NME Awards in February, 2009.
