A Cursive Memory was an American rock band, from Rancho Palos Verdes, California who released an EP and two albums in the period 2006 to 2012. ==Biography== The band originally formed under the name 'Sincerely Me' in 2003 after members Colin Baylen (guitar/vocals) and Shaun Profeta (drums) met at a birthday party. Mark Borst-Smith (bass/keyboards) and Brian Bolen (guitar) completed the fourpiece. They started off playing covers of some of their favorite bands, such as blink-182 and Jimmy Eat World, but eventually grew to write their own original songs and adopted the name A Cursive Memory.〔 Over the course of the next few years, the band built up a small local fan base and self-released their first EP, ''A Cursive Memory'', which was recorded in Bolen's home studio. It featured the original version of The Piano Song. In 2005 the band self-released the ''Lights, Camera, Action'' EP that included Profeta contributing a significant amount of vocals and a new version of The Piano Song. Although they did not tour outside of their local scene, as all of the members were still in high school, they were signed by Bunim/Murray Productions.〔 The song Club Revolution Remix was featured on an episode of The Real World. The band spent 2006 and 2007 writing new material for their debut album, ''Changes''. They were also featured in an episode of The Simple Life where a clip of the title-track was played.〔 Gradually Profeta move to lead guitar and Bolen to drums. In the spring of 2007, the band was featured on the season finale of The Simple Life where they played the song 'Perfect Company'. They also joined Hellogoodbye as support on some of their west coast tour dates.〔(Review ) of the Wiltern, San Francisco (6 April, 2007) show on Last.fm, (accessed December 8, 2014). 〕 Soon after, Bolen left the band to tart his own band Enter the Paradox.〔Biography section of the ''Enter the Paradox'' website, (accessed December 5, 2014).〕 Upon graduation, the remaining three-piece signed with Santa Monica based Vagrant Records.〔Record company (biography ), (accessed December 5, 2014).〕 In October 2007, they put out the ''Respeck!''
