The Cure for Kids

Music can be all sunshine and smiles. But The Cure? Their songs are more like moonlight and mystery… with just enough sparkle to make you want to dance. If you ever felt a little different from everyone else, this might just be the band for you!

Led by the wonderfully unique Robert Smith, The Cure’s music mixes happy and sad in a way that makes you feel everything all at once. They helped create a whole new style that's moody, melodic, and totally unforgettable. This style was called post-punk and it proved that music doesn’t have to fit in a box.

With crazy hair, bold style, and songs that sound like dreams (the good and the spooky kind), The Cure inspired generations of people to be themselves, no matter how different they felt. And they’re still inspiring young musicians today!

So grab your Loog and get ready for a trip into a world of glittering guitars, echoey vocals, and emotions you can play along to. And if you’re ready to strum like Robert, we’ve got a 3-string guitar tab for “Friday I’m In Love” waiting for you, plus a special The Cure for Kids Spotify Playlist to dive into this post-punk black and white universe.

Don't forget to check out our special The Cure for Kids Spotify Playlist, and if you're feeling up for a challenge, download the 3-string tab for "Friday I'm In Love" right here.
