Cursive

Punk rock
Punk rock

Cursive is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of The Kinks, Superchunk, Queen, Mike Mogis and Murder By Death. Those roots explain a lot about how Cursive arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Good Life, Jets to Brazil, The Get Up Kids, Pretty Girls Make Graves and Piebald, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dia Frampton, Meg & Dia, At the Drive-In, The Good Life and Sparta, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 38 connections around Cursive, reaching back through The Kinks and forward to Dia Frampton.
