Cursive

Cursive are a four-piece indie rock/emo/post-hardcore band from Omaha, Nebraska that formed in 1995. They briefly broke up between 1998 and 1999, and have been active ever since. I figure a lot of people are already familiar with this band, mainly because of the constant requests they get, plus the simple fact that they're Cursive. They're a classic Saddle Creek band, and have been incredibly influential on indie/emo music as a whole. Both Domestica and The Ugly Organ are mandatory listening, which isn't even beginning to touch upon the entirety of their discography. There's just no band like them, whether it be the unique instrumentation, Tim Kasher's distinct voice, whatever it may be, Cursive are one of a kind. Enjoy.
