All this preamble to say: would you guys point me to what you reckon the top 3 bands of the last 15 years or so are (specifically bands that you'd expect a Cure fan may like)?
3 off the top of my head would be Crystal Canyon, Bleach Lab & New Dad. Way more recent than the last 15 years, but you won't regret it. Also worth going through the thread here. A lot of great bands feature & they're well worth lending an ear to.
I have been quite detached from new music in the last 15 years or so, at least. I haven't payed much attention to new bands and have been content with listening to familiar old favourites for the most part.
I also listen to music much less than I used to (much less free time, but also other hobbies have taken a more central role in my life, in particular reading).

As the prospects of a new album from The Cure look dimmer and dimmer, I think I need to make an effort to start "seeing other people"... :-)
Thanks in advance.
I hope this thread is suitable for this request. If not, Big Hands, feel free to move as appropriate.
Thanks.
I'm in the same boat as you. The only new band I've really listened to is Then Comes Silence
I discovered a new band thanks to a Belgian Cure Facebook page last Saturday night and really like them. I don;t normally like new bands much, but these are brilliant.
And I love the resemblance in appearance to The Cure circa 1981...
Going next Friday to see Shadow Show – bit of a retro 60’s garage-psychedelic all girls band. I'm doubly excited because they will be performing at the Bob Baker Marionette Theater known for it's puppet shows(!) Should be a hoot, with lotsa sequins.

Oh, I'm liking that a lot. Have them planned for a rabbit hole session tomorrow now
