Cursive

Cursive is the longtime trio of Tim Kasher (vocals, guitar), Matt Maginn (bass), and Ted Stevens (guitar, vocals), with Patrick Newbery (keys) and Cully Symington (drums). Cursive has released seven full-length albums - including the heralded Cursive's Domestica (2000), The Ugly Organ (2003), Happy Hollow (2006), Mama, I'm Swollen (2009), and I Am Gemini (2012) - two EPs, a disc of rarities, and numerous singles since the band's 1995 inception.

The band is also known for their vital, magnetic live show, earning rave reviews from outlets including the Cleveland Scene's C-Note music blog ("[Tim Kasher's] effect on the crowd was chilling last night... Cursive was focused and on-spot, composed and gripping"), Nuvo Weekly ("...the five-piece slashed through a near-perfect set of songs from their last nine years of albums"), and the Orlando Sentinel's Soundboard blog ("...the band still knows how to rock on stage...[Cursive] thrashed away with an abandon that heightened the passion of Kasher's dense, emotionally charged wordplay.").
