THE CURSE got together in 1998 (maybe 1997) as a 4 piece, rising from the ashes of bands like PIMP SLAP and THINGS I HATE. They put their first demo tape and then their 2nd guitarist, Sarah ran off to greener pastures. They continued on as a 3 piece and put out this ruling 13 song tape. They are punk as hell in the yelling-three-chord-fuck-you-basement-punk kind of way and cover topics ranging from assault to self-esteem to reproductive rights to losing hope to (my favorite) yelling "Fuck You" about the things they hate. After releasing this tape, their singer/guitarist Molly had a back injury that put the band out of commission for about a year. They did a few tours of the West Coast (lots of small towns) and put out 4 tapes, one of which came out years after they broke up. The band went their separate ways in March 2003. This was Terrie's (bass player/singer) first real band and now she plays in WARCRY. Their drummer/singer, Erin "Whupass" Yanke went on to play in the amazing CHASED AND SMASHED and now plays drums in SOCIAL GRACES and LIGHT BRIGADE.
If you missed it the first time, this week is dedicated entirely to awesome all-women bands.
Thanks to Erin Yanke for extra info about the band.
This tape is from the collection of Erick Lyle.

Can you post the Light Brigade demo? I'd love to hear it!
Maybe so, "anonymous". I have their basement- recorded tape, but I'm not sure if it's their "official" demo or not. Somehow, I think they have another one that I don't have.
Hi, could you please reup the Curse's tape?
Thank you!
Riccardo
How can I get a hold of molly?
I haven't seen her in about 20 years!
