Osheaga 2009 Showcases La Roux, New Wavers

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) August 4, 2009 2:32 pm
It's a combination of the long lineups, the omnipresent enclosures, rigid schedules and overpriced wares, but nothing awakens my animalistic tendencies quite  like Osheaga, Montreal's massive weekend musical bash. It's not really a "music and arts festival" because a festival would imply there's some sort of cultural celebration...

Mastodon Bring Along Strange Combo Of Metal And Punk

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) May 16, 2007 12:00 pm
Without a doubt, this has to be the strangest tour of the year. Mastodon, Against Me, Cursive and These Arms Are Snakes are bands so disparate that you'd never imagine hearing them mentioned in the same sentence, let alone performing together on a high profile tour. But there they were, drawing a wide assortment of kids to the Kool Haus Tuesday...

Cursive

By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) August 22, 2006 11:21 am
You wouldn't expect Cursive to deliver one of the most charmingly upbeat albums of the year, especially given the downtrodden emo on 2003's The Ugly Organ. But, sure enough, they've returned with what might be their best work since Domestica. The music isn't markedly different from their past work, they're just having more fun playing it. Even a...

Mayday — Bushido Karaoke

in
By Brian Wong (CHARTattack) June 28, 2005 2:16 pm
On the third Mayday record, Ted Stevens (guitarist of Cursive) leads his bandmates and a small cross-section of the Saddle Creek family toward some snappy, classic Americana and countrified rock. Most of these songs hover at three minutes and under, allowing a raw-recorded, yet vibrant roundup of feisty violins, clunky brass and saloon piano to...

Video Of The Day: Tim Kasher's "Cold Love"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) October 21, 2010 12:15 pm
Cursive's Tim Kasher has spent his career writing about love gone wrong, and his tunes to date have been... well... pretty depressing for the most part. His The Game Of Monogamy solo album, though, is a surprisingly optimistic-sounding affair, mixing ska with indie rock. The video for "Cold Love" is pretty damn hilarious, detailing the life of a...

Cursive — "Let Me Up"

in
By CHARTattack Staff October 22, 2009 1:58 pm
Cursive's clip for Mama, I'm Swollen's "Let Me Up" is kind of like Radiohead's video for "Karma Police," in that frontman Tim Kasher is the only person in a car that lights on fire. The difference is that Thom Yorke's car in "Karma Police" wasn't strapped with dynamite and didn't explode. Kasher's does. You can...

Cursive — "I Couldn't Love You"

in
By CHARTattack Staff June 12, 2009 12:42 pm
Cursive's "I Couldn't Love You Anymore" finds Tania Raymonde (Alex Linus of Lost) as a runaway bride fleeing a pack of angry, gun-wielding men. Cursive frontman Tim Kasher says the video is essentially a metaphor for trophy wives. Mama, I'm Swollen, Cursive's sixth album, is in stores now.

Cursive Get Happy On New Album

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) May 30, 2006 4:30 pm
Nebraska's Cursive, a band who spend a lot of their time in the grey area between punk and rock, will release their Happy Hollow album on August 22 through Saddle Creek. The record, produced by Saddle Creek mainstay Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley), is a departure for the band. They've moved away from string-laden orchestration — forced, in...
