A Cursive Memory is considered to be alternative rock, indie rock, or pop punk. The band hails from Rancho Palos Verdes, California and was originally called Sincerely Me. The band was formed when in 2003 after Colin and Shaun had met at a birthday party. Sincerely Me was originally a cover band, doing covers of songs for Jimmy Eat World and blink-182. Whenever the band started writing their own music, they changed their name to A Cursive Memory.

A Cursive Memory’s successful musical career began while they were all still in high school. Through much promotion via the local sound circuit, the band caught the attention of Bunim/Murray Productions (The Real World/Road Rules). Success really started to boom when their song Club Revolution Remix was featured on an episode of The Real World.

1905 is a great band with an unfortunate short lived music career. They were formed in 2000, released one CD, and broke up in 2006. Their music has been classified as punk, rock, and screamo. The sound of the band is a mix of subtle soft sounds with screaming and a mix of male and female vocals.

I have to say that this band has the best female screamer that I have ever heard. Their album Voice is incredible and I highly recommend it to . . . well, anyone. They quickly became one of my favorites on my MP3 player when I was trying out their music for the first time.

You can check out some pictures of the band and sample their music below. You can also purchase their CD by Clicking Here.

48May is a pop rock or pop punk group that was founded in 2004 by Jon Austin and CaptainHook. They are a fairly popular New Zealand band who have opened for a lot of big name bands such as Panic! At the Disco and Alien Ant Farm. The band is named after their residency during university at 48 May Street in Hamilton. Unfortunately, the band’s career was short lived, as they broke up in 2008 to pursue individual endeavors.

I personally think that they’re a really good band and certainly worth putting on the ipod or MP3 player. You can check out some pictures of the band and sample their music below.
