Idle Cure

Last updated

Idle Cure was an arena rock band from Long Beach, California. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music calls their sound "the best example of cloning a sound for Christian markets", likening it to that of Def Leppard's Pyromania . [1] They targeted a youthful audience, [2] distinguished by overtly evangelical religious lyrics. [3]

CCM magazine reported that all original members of the band had been in mainstream bands prior to the formation of Idle Cure. [3] Their first four albums have been reissued as compilations by KMG Records.
