I'm looking for some bands that sound like The Cure. You know, like a Gothic Soft Rock. Sometimes a bit punkish.

You should definitely check out Ashes Divide, it's a band formed by the guitarist of A Perfect Circle. They only have one album but you can tell it has a lot of influence from The Cure with the sound of the guitar and piano. There's also a couple of harder songs on there that sound like APC but I think you'll enjoy it.

i think of lovesong via the treatment is relatively alluring and a band stated as Jack off Jill did a cover of it so possibly you would be wanting to objective that theyalso produce different songs that are magically dark like: strawberry gashes, vivica, undesirable impulse administration, megastar no megastar, worry of death, surgical operation possibly Siouxsie and the banshees - cities in dirt Siouxsie and the banshees - costly prudence The Tea occasion - Heaven Coming Down Deftones - No hassle-free Love comparable vibe..? possibly, I basically regularly think of of the treatment as especially dark. yet i comprehend they have happy songs too, so possibly i'm thinking of a distinctive vibe.. tell me what you think of :)

VHS Or Beta has a VERY similar sound to The Cure, but they're not really new...though they still are active.
