Cursive is an American indie rock band from Omaha, Nebraska. Stylistically described as emo and post-hardcore,[4] Cursive came to prominence with 2000's Domestica and found commercial and critical success with 2003's The Ugly Organ.[5] The band has released eight studio albums, a compilations album, and a mix of singles and EPs since 1997. They have released recordings on several labels, including 15 Passenger Records, Saddle Creek Records, and Big Scary Monsters (UK).

Cursive's influences include such bands as Fugazi,[6][7] Shudder to Think,[6] Superchunk,[7] Archers of Loaf[6] and Brainiac.[6]
