The Cult is a British rock band that was formed in 1983 in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Originally known as Death Cult, the band officially changed their name to The Cult in January 1984.

Lead vocalist Ian Astbury and lead guitarist Billy Duffy are the core members of the band. They both contribute to the music and songwriting process, showcasing their talents and creativity.

With their distinctive sound and powerful performances, The Cult has established themselves as influential figures in the rock music scene. Their contributions to the genre have made them a favorite among fans worldwide.

The Cult, unlike its predecessor bands the Southern Death Cult and the Death Cult, was unapologetic about its mainstream rock and roll aspirations, which makes Pure Cult: the Singles 1984-1995 the best possible starting place for the group, and for many, the logical end point as well. The Cult was a singles band, and a pretty great one, too, as evidenced by the stones-like 'Love Removal Machine' and the blazing 'Fire Woman.' although the set isn't chronologically ordered, Pure Cult still gives a good sense of the band's surprisingly organic shift in sound, ranging from the gothy neo-psychedelia of 'She Sells Sanctuary' to the sneering rock of 'Star.' Totally remastered, featuring 19 of your favourite Cult tracks including 'She Sells Sanctuary', 'Edie (Ciao Baby) ' and 'Sweet Soul Sister', with new artwork.
