Craig, I don't know know Cursive (insert handwriting joke). But I can assure you there are at least three other bands in the midwest that I can verify, and a hanful of others who claim to be so. (They might just be coastals seeking mid-continental cred, I can't say for sure.) take care, Nate hi Jon, Craig,

And Blake Scwharzenbach (sp?) and "Fat" Mike Stevens guest star on Anthem For A New Tomorrow. Good stuff as well. Actually I like Anthem better, it's darker (but then, I wear black on the outside because it's how I feel on the inside. You might not so it may not be your thing so much.) Billy Joe Armstrong also played guitar and sang in the excellent Pinhead Gunpowder, if you don't know them I highly recommend them. A lot of the Pinhead Gunpowder song lyrics were written by ex-Crimpshrine drummer and punk zine superstar Aaron Cometbus, which means they're really, really good. Especially if you like songs about restlessness and self-induced loneliness. I've got an extra soft spot for their Goodbye Elston Avenue because I used to work and grocer shop on Elston in Chicago, but it's also just a really great album, one so good that someone I know borrowed it and never returned it.
