The Cure "Stills" follows the changing faces of one of the leading British rock bands during the post-punk and new-wave movements of the late '70s and '80s. As the band has continued over a period of nearly 50 years, front man and only constant member Robert Smith has maintained the band's popularity throughout the changing musical eras, while staying true to their individualistic style and quirkiness. Instrumental in the creation of the varying incarnations of The Cure is photographer Paul Cox, who first encountered the group on Top of the Pops in 1980. Having established a creative, productive and trusting relationship with the band, Cox's resulting work is The Cure in all their glory. Including over 200 color and 75 black-and-white images, with accompanying captions selected and written by Cox and Smith, this book is a celebration of a seminal band through the lens of a skilled photographer.

About the Author

Paul's career took off in the late 1970's initially with a job with London Features International photographing bands at concerts and various locations. One of these was the BBC studios for Top of the Pops, where Paul first encountered The Cure in 1980.

Critical Reviews

"If you've ever wondered what it's like to be in a band for over 40 years, Robert Smith and photographer Paul Cox have got you covered. Their new book Stills is not just another collection of band photos; it's a snapshot (literally) of decades of eyeliner, gravity-defying hair, and a refusal to follow musical trends."--Harvey Solomon-Brady "WhyNow"
