The Cure emerged in the post-punk 70s and defied all expectations to launch a marathon career marked by hit records and a string of sell-out arena show. In 2004, after numerous personnel changes, the band delivered their Greatest Hits album. Never Enough is the first major, definitive biography of these post punk survivors. It traces the roots in middle-class Crawley, Sussex and tracks their gradual rise, revealing how their first major album Pornography, almost ended the band well before their multi-platinum career began. It also documents Smith's escape to Siouxsie & The Banshees camp during the Eighties and his experimentation with drugs. His reluctance to return to The Cure which would eventually lead them to becoming superstars, not only on both sides of the Atlantic but all around the globe.
