Punish Me with Kisses

"Punish Me with Kisses" is the second single by the English post-punk band the Glove from their sole studio album Blue Sunshine.[2][3] released in 1983 by Wonderland Records/Polydor. The Glove were a side project for Robert Smith of the Cure and Steven Severin of Siouxsie and the Banshees. The song was recorded in 1983 while Smith was also a member of the Banshees,[4] and also featured future Banshees keyboardist Martin McCarrick and new Cure drummer Andy Anderson.

The band performed the song on the British TV show Riverside.[5][6]

The release of the single went largely unnoticed at the time, because both the Cure and the Banshees had just released their most successful singles to date.[6]

The song was co-written by Smith and Severin.[7]

Critical reception edit

In a review for the Blue Sunshine album for the Spanish-language magazine Muzikalia, critic Manuel Pinazo described this song and "Like an Animal" as having echoes of Syd Barrett.,[8] while Toronto Star, critic Ben Rayner described the song as a "more straightforward post-punk cut".[9] In a review of the 2006 reissue of the Blue Sunshine album, which included a remix of the song, PopMatters editor Adam Besenyodi said that the depth of the album version "is lost on the Mike Hedges mix, where the full orchestration is supplanted with a tinnier sound".[10]
