The Cure bassist Simon Gallup announced Saturday that he is leaving the band after nearly 40 years with the goth-rock legends.

The Cure and singer Robert Smith have not yet commented on Gallup’s departure. However, the band’s longtime keyboardist Roger O’Donnell tweeted after Gallup’s announcement,...

Since forming more than four decades ago, the Cure’s personal lyrics, dreamlike compositions and gothy image helped them establish a dedicated, cult-like fanbase. Despite these clear contributions to rock — not to mention gold and platinum records on both side of the Atlantic and megahits like “Lovesong” and “The Love Cats” — it’s taken 15 years and one failed bid in 2012 for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to recognize them with an induction.

At 7:30 a.m. on Thursday morning, former Cure drummer-keyboardist Lol Tolhurst felt his wife tapping him on the shoulder. “She told me she had a big surprise to tell me,” he says. “I thought maybe she was pregnant and I’d get to be a father again. But then she told me that the Cure had been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ever since then the phone has been going off. It’s been a bit of a surreal morning.”

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
In 2009, White Lies appeared from nowhere with their debut album ‘To Lose My Life’, which raced to the top of the UK Charts. There was something fairly clever about this debut album: White Lies had managed to successfully reproduce the post-punk sound from the 1980s but enthused it with modern production. Of course, the post-punk revival had been around for a few years yet White Lies followed Editors’ example by producing songs that had dark themes coupled with infectious hooks. White Lies were just one of many bands that represented a new era of British ‘Coldwave’ that has continued to flourish due to The Xx.
2011 saw the release of White Lies’ second album ‘Ritual’ which took the sound from their first effort and slightly changed it by imbuing it with electronics. It wasn’t a bad album by any means but it was a slight disappointment...
