With a penchant for theatrical flourish, quirky-sincere lyrics, and plenty of piano, A Cursive Memory create a sonic boom of emo pop. The L.A. quartet became an internet sensation in early 2008 when they followed a paparazzi troupe around Hollywood to create a goofy, star-studded video for their debut single "Everything." Their debut, logically enough on Vagrant, followed, affirming the band’s upbeat, embarrassment-of-hooks sound, led by the heartrending vocals of Colin Baylen.
