As Curve, Halliday and Garcia released three acclaimed and increasingly successful EPs ("Blindfold", "Frozen", and "Cherry") throughout 1991 on Anxious Records. They also made an impact on the UK album charts in 1992 with their debut studio album "Doppelgänger". The group toured extensively during this period, with Halliday and Garcia being supported on stage by two additional guitarists (Debbie Smith, later of Echobelly, and Alex Mitchell) and a drummer (Steve Monti, formerly of Ian Dury and the Blockheads). Highlights of Curve's live career included a performance at the 1992 Glastonbury Festival, and a package tour of the United States and Canada with The Jesus and Mary Chain and Spiritualized.
