Flyleaf is an alternative rock band that was formed in Temple, Texas in 2000. It consist of Lacey Mosley, Sameer Bhattacharya, Jared Hartmann, Pat Seals and James Culpepper. All five members of the band are of the Christian faith but they don’t necessarily regard themselves as a Christian rock band. In 2004, Flyleaf played a showcase for RCA Records in New York City in hopes of getting signed. RCA passed on the band, but the president of Octone Records was very interested in the band. They were signed after the showcase, and on January 7, 2004, Octone Record’s website announced their arrival to the label. In March 2004, Flyleaf traveled to Seattle, Washington to record an EP with Rick Parashar. Afterwards, they toured with Breaking Benjamin, Staind and 3 Doors Down to promote their self-titled EP. On October 4, 2005 they released their self titled debut, Flyleaf. It debuted at number eighty-eight on the Billboard 200. It has since sold over a million units. In 2007 they released the EP "Much Like Falling". They are currently working on their next album due to be released in August of 2009. It is tentatively titled Memento Mori.
