The Cult is a British rock band formed in Bradford, West Yorkshire, in 1981. The band came to prominence in the mid-1980s as a key band in the post-punk and gothic rock scenes, before a shift in style towards hard rock and alternative rock in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Cult's sound is characterized by its driving rhythms, Ian Astbury's powerful vocals, and Billy Duffy's distinctive guitar work, often drawing influences from blues-rock, hard rock, and psychedelic rock. 

Initially fronted by vocalist Ian Astbury and lead guitarist Billy Duffy, the band achieved their first commercial breakthroughs with albums such as "Love" (1985) and "Electric" (1987). "Love" showcased a more gothic rock sound, featuring hit singles like "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Rain." The subsequent album, "Electric," produced by Rick Rubin, marked a significant stylistic shift towards a more raw, hard rock sound, yielding anthems like "Love Removal Machine."

Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, The Cult continued to evolve, releasing successful albums like "Sonic Temple" (1989) and "Ceremony" (1991), which further blended hard rock, alternative rock, and even elements of stadium rock. Their music often explored themes of mysticism, rebellion, and spiritualism. Notable singles from this era include "Fire Woman" and "Sweet Suburbia."

Despite various lineup changes over the years, Astbury and Duffy have remained the consistent core of The Cult. The band has maintained a dedicated global following and continues to tour and record, releasing albums such as "Beyond Good and Evil" (2001), "Choice of Weapon" (2012), and "Hidden City" (2016). Their enduring career is marked by a significant impact on the rock landscape, influencing numerous bands with their unique blend of dark atmosphere and hard-hitting rock anthems.

The Cult is a British rock band formed in 1981, known for their evolution from post-punk and gothic rock to hard rock and alternative rock. Led by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy, their career spans decades with influential albums like "Love" and "Electric," and hit singles such as "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Love Removal Machine." They are recognized for their distinctive sound, thematic depth, and continued global touring and recording.

The rock classic, recorded at Olympic studios in Barnes and produced by Steve Brown. This was recorded and released as a stand-alone single but it was included on the band's next album, 'Love'. Though it spent months in the UK charts, and was one of the best selling tracks of the year, it actually never reached the top ten. It was the last release to feature the original Cult drummer Nigel Preston.
