So far ahead of the pack. Curve would find their true place and appreciation among the metal crowd these days. They were seriously heavy and sound as fresh and vital now as they did 30 years ago, unlike most of their peers. A phenomenally talented band with an absolute goddess of cool up front.

Years of KZread rabbit holes, hundreds of different artists and this is the first time the brilliant Curve popped into my recommended (from within a Cocteau Twins mix). Honestly, it must be 10 years since I've heard this banging tune and was singing along like it was yesterday. Somehow I'd forgotten about the band. Now I've gotta find the album this track was off again.

Snarling writhing rumbling this is the best music video in the world

Just. Wow. Sounds better than ever, 5/5 to me 30yrs later, doesn't get much better. Incredible impact. The whole image - magnificent too. I think Garbage used Curve as a style blueprint, and cashed in, but the original thing is superior.

Their best song, just jerk on this fantastic song with my ears

I always identified with this track it's sound it's power is definitely a reality in life

This video is so good. Toni's glare at the camera, attitude to match her lyrics, the stark black & white, the moody flamenco lady trying to out-face Toni, the band thrashing it out like they mean it in smoky slo-mo, etc etc,... still one of my favourite vids from any band

@@benedettobruno1669 Glad to chuck some new bands your way. I am sure you are aware that Liz Fraser from the Cocteau Twins sung on an amazing track called Song To The Siren by This Mortal Coil. If you do not know the track it shows her vocal brilliance away from the Cocteau's. She also collaborated with Massive Attack. I used to sit up after midnight night after night for years in the 80s and 90s listening to a famous Brit DJ called John Peel who played, basically, everything that the mainstream radio programmes would not. He was a legend among people like me who were into indie, Punk and Reggae music to name a few types. I am now almost 60 but still have not lost my love for new bands unlike all my friends who cannot be bothered any more. Also, before I forget, a band called Xymox and also Clan Of Xymox created some amazing tracks from the pop like hit called Imagination to much darker gothic offerings. Have fun exploring Bruno.

Damn, this is a fucking cool video. And the song, of course.

Got to agree with a lot of the comments here. So, so underrated. I love their sound where it is like the guitars are battling each other for supremacy. Saw them live in the early 90s in London. Fell in love with the sound, the band and of course Toni. Thank you so much.

First heard Curve on Gary Crowley’s Greater London Radio Saturday afternoon alternative rock show, in the early 90s, when he played the extraordinary track Horror Head! Went and bought the CD single immediately!

Curve were magnificent. Especially Ms Halliday 😍

My favourite female singer of all time! ❤️

Guitars rock 😊 🎸 🎸 🎸 ❤

I never stopped listening to Curve since their singles came out! My favourites from them are all early releases such as the gloomy "Ten Little Girls" with JC001, the classic shoegazing "Coast Is Clear", the powerful "Clipped" and "Fait Accompli" and the fabulous shining "Horrorhead". I still have Curve videos from MTV Europe's 120 Minutes with Paul King, and everytime I watch them I still feel like it was 1991 or 1992, with all the other bands of the time such as Lush, Slowdive, Ride, etc.

Doppleganger is all killer no filler.

Have every CD released by Curve. Even have the solo stuff of Toni's and State of Play and Recoil. Paid $200 U.S. for the Superblaster single. Rare as hen's teeth back then. I love the lyric about insomnia in Fait. The most perfect description of a crippling condition. This song gives it a sense of beauty. I love Shirley Manson and Garbage , however , kind of think they took Curve's sound and made it more marketable . Good luck to them I guess.

I’ve listened to them from the ground up still innovative and ahead of their time Indy GEN X xo

One of my favourite songs of the early 90s The indie scene between the late 80s and mid 90s was fucking brilliant, Best time of my life, No idea how many bands I saw, how many gigs I went to and the amount of quality drugs was awesome, Also, normal, good looking, non pretentious girls, This isn't a rose tinted glasses, nostalgic retro view of things, Being into that scene back then really was cool as f**k.

Light years ahead of the game... love Oasis "Definitely Maybe" but these bad girls/boys were pushing the acoustic envelope two years before. Hard edged blasting bass & reverb, set against a Soft Cell darkness, and a massive sound intelligence. Pure bass, clean vocal, and a frankly perverse heavy edged guitar sound that, fell (FELL) against the vocal mix ... get in!

My abiding memory of this is the portentous tones of Tommy Vance introducing it on the Top 40 countdown on Radio 1... it was, of course, miles better than anything else that week

I discovered this band now, though they are from 90's, and a grew up on bands of 80's-90's. and listen a lot Depeche Mode, Inxs, U-2, NitzerEbb, Faith no More, A-ha, Camouflage, e.t.c. What a shame, I did not know this gorgeus band... But other thing is that now in 2015, when there are less interesting bands, it is a treasure to discover something new from the past. At this moment I like this song most os all, and video is also good) It goes good with music. Also, I want to say, if you're not impressed with music today, check old bands, thanx for webs like KZread and people that have time and insperation to share music!!!
