Curve were an English music group formed in 1991 chiefly around the collaboration of singer Toni Halliday and guitarist Dean Garcia. The two were introduced to each other by fellow musician Dave Stewart of Eurythmics (Garcia had done a stint playing bass guitar in Eurythmics' live band in 1983–84, and played on two of their studio albums, while Halliday was singed as a solo artist to Stewart's Anxious Records label). The pair briefly formed a group named State of Play in the late 1980s before parting ways and then reuniting for their more long-term partnership in Curve. Their music being typified by heavy beats and Garcia's densely-layered guitar tracks set against Halliday's airy vocalization of lyrics that frequently explore such topics as alienation, addiction and love on the wane.

After nearly a decade-and-a-half of partnership backed by an ever-changing lineup, during which time the band broke up at least once in the mid-1990s, Halliday announced on their official web site in early 2005 that the group had finally run its course and was no more. Whether this is their final curtain call or just their most recent hiatus remains to be seen.
