Legendary emo indie outfit The Cure have played all over the world in their decorated careers but back in 1996 when they headed to Brazil, it was the first time they had been to the country since 1988. They were there for the 1996 edition of the Hollywood Rock Festival which they headlined in superb fashion and wowed their Latin American fans. Live Lullabies & Other Bedtime Stories is a special recording of that night that comes on nice yellow vinyl and features the likes of signature anthems like ‘Boys Don’t Cry,’ ‘Friday I’m In Love,’ ‘Just Like Heaven’ and many more.

War Demos

GuerssenAdmin — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 23:00:00 +0000

Just when you thought you’d heard Robert Smith and The Cure every which way but bad, we discover more from their huge back catalogue. This time in the form of World War, a compilation of rare demos that takes its name for the band’s seminal early single, which appears in a particular raw and unfettered, grinding version on this collection. A sound that defines the overall aesthetic. Rough and ready but packed full of energy, the huge landmark ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ feels more intimate as a result, ‘Fire In Cairo’ arguably more punk, ‘M’ more New Romantic, and ‘Heroin Face’ less compromising than ever before. If all that sounds like bullshit talking, we implore you to take a listen and see what you think – the smart money is on us agreeing in the end.
TRACKLIST:
A1 Boys Don’t Cry A2 It’s Not You A3 Killing An Arab A4 10:15 Saturday Night A5 Fire In Cairo B1 World War B2 At Night B3 M B4 Heroin Face B5 Charlotte Sometimes
