Considering Curves towering monolith of guitar noise, dance tracks, dark goth, and airy melodies, its strange that their two core members — guitarist Dean Garcia and vocalist Toni Halliday — met through David Stewart of Eurythmics. Halliday met Stewart while she was a teenager and they remained friends for years; Garcia played on Eurythmics Touch and Be Yourself Tonight. The two played together in State of Play, who released one album and two singles in the late 80s to little notice. After the failure of that band, Garcia and Halliday parted ways only to reunite in the beginning of the 90s. Renaming themselves Curve, Halliday and Garcia released three EPs that became independent hits in 1991. Although they were critically acclaimed as well, some members of the U.K. press attacked Halliday for not being a genuine member of the indie scene. Despite the negative press, their next EP and first album, 1992s Doppelganger, hit number one on the U.K. indie charts. By the time of the following years Cuckoo, Curve had added two guitarists and a drummer, with Garcia moving to bass. Cuckoo was noisier and more experimental than their previous releases, although it did have a couple of pop songs that were tighter than their usual singles. However, the album didnt make as big of a splash in the U.K. as previous releases; Curve split several months after its release, only to reform in 1997 with the Chinese Burn EP. The full-length Come Clean followed a year later and Coming Up Roses became a moderate hit among college radio. Three years later, Curve issued the Internet-only Open Day at the Hate Fest. This album collected MP3s and B-sides and was a limited edition package for eager fans awaiting a proper studio album. After battling contractual obligations with Estupendo/Universal, Curve returned to form for 2001s Gift, their fourth album in 10 years. Another self-released disc came in 2002, and a two-disc compilation entitled The Way of Curve followed in 2004.
