Curve was an English alternative rock and electronic music duo from London, formed in 1990. The band consisted of Toni Halliday (vocals) and Dean Garcia (bass, guitar, drums, programming). Halliday and Garcia first met through Dave Stewart of Eurythmics and initially formed a short-lived group named State of Play before reuniting as Curve. Their breakthrough came with the release of three acclaimed EPs—Blindfold, Frozen, and Cherry—in 1991, which led to their debut studio album, Doppelgänger, in February 1992.Curve's career saw several notable milestones, including a performance at the 1992 Glastonbury Festival and a package tour of the United States and Canada with The Jesus and Mary Chain and Spiritualized. Their second studio album, Cuckoo (September 1993), marked a shift towards a harder-edged sound but did not replicate the chart success of their debut. Following a hiatus from 1994 to 1996, Curve returned with the EP Pink Girl With the Blues and collaborated with Paul Van Dyk on the song "Words". Their third studio album, Come Clean, was released in March 1998 and showcased a more pronounced electronic influence. The band continued releasing albums, including Gift (2001) and The New Adventures of Curve (2002), before disbanding in January 2005 following Halliday's departure from the group. Notable posthumous releases include the compilation album Rare and Unreleased in 2010, which featured 39 songs available as digital downloads.
