Idle Cure
Idle Cure was a hard/arena rock band based ouf of 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 religious lyrics, even evangelical 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.
