The second single Boy's Don't Cry, was released in June but rather surprisingly, even after it was universally praised by critics, it failed to capture the public's attention to any great extent. In September 1978, the band embarked on a nationwide tour with Siouxsie and The Banshees, it was to prove to be a monumental turning point for The Cure. When Siouxsie's guitarist John McKay quit the band, Smith was drafted in to fulfil his duties for the rest of the tour, the experience of playing The Banshees songs live changed his perceptions of what type of band The Cure should be.
Smith was convinced that the band's direction had to change, Michael Dempsey disagreed and was summarily sacked, Smith outlining the modus operandi of the band, it was his way or the highway, simple as that. Simon Gallup from The Associates was drafted in to replace Dempsey while Matthieu Hartley also from The Associates was brought in on keyboards. In early 1980, new look The Cure entered the studio to begin work on their second album. The resulting work, Seventeen Seconds was very different from their debut, being heavily influenced by Berlin Bowie, Nick Drake and of course Siouxsie and The Banshees. It was a morose, moody, bleak album with minimalist melodies; clocking in at little over the half hour mark. It divided the critics, but it also had the effect of eking out an original niche for the band with their new sound and burgeoning anti-image attracting attention.
Just one single was taken from the album - A Forest, it was more upbeat than any other track but it was to become a song that became associated with the sound of The Cure, it secured the band their first slot on Top of the Pops. The band embarked on a gruelling world tour to promote the album, during which Smith and Hartley began to differ on some issues, on their return to England, Hartley quit. If Seventeen Seconds had being dark, their third album Faith was positively pitch and it wasn't just for effect, the mood of the band was ominously becoming darker and darker, the triangle tightening, excluding all others and invariably putting pressure on the angles.
It was met with loathing and disgust at what was perceived as shallow and pretentious; achieving exactly what Smith had desired, he was cutting his own furrow away from the masses, ergo let the masses deride if they wished. It was a tough road to take, touring the album, singing the melancholy songs night in, night out; had the effect of driving the band further and further into the black. Smith became completely engrossed in his stage persona, refusing requests for older songs, often breaking down in tears, it was dangerous ground indeed. Their subsequent non-album single Charlotte Sometimes featured Smith's girlfriend and future wife on the sleeve but the picture was completely indecipherable; there appeared to be no joy in The Cure's world. Smith became mired in a world of drugs, Lol Tolhurst's mother died but the gruelling tour to promote the album continued, these were grim days indeed.
