With a radio-friendly ‘woo-oah-oahh!’ chorus and bouncy guitar pop stylings, ‘The Cure’ lands us firmly in Good Charlotte / Blink 182 / All Time Low etc. ad infinitum territory. Yeah, yeah, they’ve got energy. But then, so have all the guitar-toting pop acts.
Truth is, though, while the kids think bands like this rock, they’re only a tweak on the mix desk away from Busted and McFly. If you dig the whole pop rock thing, then you’ll dig this. If you’re over 18, then you probably won’t – or it’s simply time you took a long hard look at yourself and ditched the long shorts and silly haircut.
