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.

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.

[1] 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.

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.

To promote the single 'Everything', the band shot a video while following paparazzi around Los Angeles and it featured appearances of a large number of celebrities.

The band embarked on a co-headlining tour with The Medic Droid across the United States in support of their debut album, Changes, including an appearance at The Bamboozle Left festival.
