Flyleaf started in 2002 not 2000}}</ref> The band has charted on mainstream rock, [[contemporary Christian music|Christian pop]], and [[Christian metal]] charts. They performed around the US in 2003 before releasing their [[eponym]]ous debut album, ''[[Flyleaf (album)|Flyleaf]]'', in 2005. The album went platinum after selling more than one million copies.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.Net/news.aspx?mode%3DArticle%26newsitemID%3D108847 |title=BLABBERMOUTH.NET - FLYLEAF Singer Says Voice is 'Great' After Long Rest |access-date=2008-11-22 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606065802/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.Net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=108847 |archive-date=June 6, 2011 |df=mdy }}</ref> Flyleaf released their second album, ''[[Memento Mori (Flyleaf album)|Memento Mori]]'', in 2009, which debuted and peaked at No.&nbsp;8 on the Billboard charts.
 
Shortly before the release of their third album, ''[[New Horizons (Flyleaf album)|New Horizons]]'' (2012), lead vocalist [[Lacey Sturm]] announced her departure.<ref>{{cite web|author=Anna Erickson|url=http://loudwire.com/flyleaf-singer-lacey-sturm-exits-band/ |title=Flyleaf Singer Lacey Sturm Exits Band |publisher=Loudwire.com |date=October 22, 2012 |access-date=November 17, 2013}}</ref> [[Kristen May]] subsequently became the new lead vocalist.

'''Flyleaf''' is a [[alternative rock]] band from the [[Temple, Texas|Temple]]/[[Belton, Texas|Belton]], [[Texas]]<ref>Bio on [http://flyleafmusic.com/ Flyleafmusic.com] retrieved [[2006-07-12]]; other sources, including [http://www.myspace.com/flyleaf the band's MySpace page], say [[Temple, Texas]] instead.</ref> area. The band and its members have previously played under several names including Listen, Sporos, The Grove, and Passerby. They became the most prominent in [[Texas]] under Passerby, but due to the authorities, the name was changed to Flyleaf after they were signed. "A flyleaf is the blank page at the front of a book," explains [[Lacey Mosley]], Flyleaf's [[vocalist]]. "It's the dedication page, the place you write a message to someone you're giving a book to. And, that's kind of what our songs are — personal messages that provide a few moments of clarity before the story begins."
 
== Band History ==
Prior to the formation of the band, singer lady [[Lacey Mosley]] tried out a string of dark, hard edged songs she consistently wrote as a brooding teenager with drummer [[James Culpepper]]. Later, guitarists [[Jared Hartmann]] and [[Sameer Bhattacharya]] were recruited. "Sameer and Jared are really experimental with melodies and pedals, and we all had different influences that were all blending together with the same passionate and hopeful heart, and that brought out this beautiful feeling. It was magical," said Mosley.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} Bassist [[Pat Seals]] joined in 2002 after leaving his previous band The Grove.
 
=== Early years (2002–2004) ===
As Passerby, the band released three [[extended play|EP]]s and played over 100 shows in Texas alone over the span of two years under the booking and promotion company [[Runt Entertainment]].
In 2004, Passerby played a showcase for the president of [[RCA]] in [[New York City]] in hopes of getting signed. RCA turned the band down, but the president of [[Octone Records]], who had been secretly invited to the showcase, was very interested in the band. They waited for a few days in their van at a truck stop for a phone call about an Octone showcase. They were signed after the showcase, and on [[January 7]], [[2004]], Octone Records' website announced their arrival to the label.
 
Early on, [[Lacey Sturm]] performed with James Culpepper. Guitarists Jared Hartmann and Sameer Bhattacharya were later recruited. "Sameer and Jared are really experimental with melodies and [[Effects pedal|pedals]]," said Sturm, "and we all had different influences that were all blending together with the same passionate and hopeful heart, and that brought out this beautiful feeling. It was magical."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://flyleafonline.com/media/interviews.php |title=The latest news, information, tour dates, pictures, mp3s, videos, lyrics and more |publisher=Flyleaf Online |access-date=2016-08-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070222103201/http://flyleafonline.com/media/interviews.php |archive-date=February 22, 2007 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Bassist Pat Seals joined after leaving his previous band, The Grove.
In March of 2004, Flyleaf traveled to [[Seattle, Washington]] to record an EP with [[Rick Parasher]] ([[Pearl Jam]], [[Blind Melon]]). Afterwards, they toured with [[Breaking Benjamin]], [[Staind]] and [[3 Doors Down]] to promote their self-titled EP. In October, the EP was released to stores.

In 2005, the band recorded their first full-length album with [[Howard Benson]] ([[My Chemical Romance]]). On [[October 4]], [[2005]], the record was released under the title ''Flyleaf.'' Appearances on the album include [[Dave Navarro]] of [[Jane's Addiction]] and Ryan White of Resident Hero. The first secular single from their debut album is "I'm So Sick", but it should also be noted that "All Around Me" has been released to Christian radio stations. "Fully Alive" is the second secular single released from the LP.

The band was scheduled to continue with the second leg of the "Unite & Fight" tour from September 10, 2010, to October 23, 2010, with [[Story of the Year]], and performed at various festivals through the end of the year. They also released an animated music video for "Chasm" on September 22, which was directed/animated/illustrated by Giles Timms. At the end of the Unite and Fight tour in early November, Lacey collaborated with band Apocalyptica on the song "Broken Pieces", as well as with Australian singer [[Orianthi]] in her new song "Courage".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://flyleafonline.com/2010/10/27/orianthi-feat-lacey-courage-video/ |title=The latest news, information, tour dates, pictures, mp3s, videos, lyrics and more |publisher=Flyleaf Online |date=October 27, 2010 |access-date=October 21, 2011 |archive-date=July 28, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110728032738/http://flyleafonline.com/2010/10/27/orianthi-feat-lacey-courage-video/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Soon after they released "Arise" as the next single from ''Memento Mori''.
* "Breathe Today" (2004)
* "I'm So Sick" (2006)
* "Fully Alive" (2006)
 
On November 6, 2010, the band performed at Rock the Hood, a festival at [[Fort Hood]] in memory of all the soldiers who have died, especially the 13 who died at the November 2009 shooting.
== Trivia ==
* The song "Cassie" references the [[Columbine High School massacre]], beginning with the lyrics
::The question asked in order
::To save her life or take it
::The answer no to avoid death
::The answer yes would make it
::Make it
:and the chorus is
::Do you believe in God
::Written on the bullet
::Say yes to pull the trigger
::Do you believe in God
::Written on the bullet
::And Cassie pulled the trigger.

It was The Revolt's opening night at Pierce College and the first time the campus has been used as an outdoor music venue.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://theroundupnews.com/2006/11/17/positive-message-rocks-youthbr |title=Flyleaf Round Up |publisher=Roundupnews.com |date=November 17, 2006 |access-date=October 28, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141107114531/http://theroundupnews.com/2006/11/17/positive-message-rocks-youthbr/ |archive-date=November 7, 2014 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
 
In a May 2010 interview, Sturm was asked how it felt to be in a Christian rock band and play in Las Vegas: <blockquote>Well, you know what? I don't know what you mean by a "Christian rock band." It's hard to say that because people all have a different definition of what that means. If it means that we're Christians, then yeah, we're Christians, but if a plumber's a Christian, does that make him a "Christian plumber?" I mean we're not playing for Christians. We're just playing honestly and that's going to come out.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.atlanticcityweekly.com/arts-and-entertainment/Flyleaf-is-Mindful-of-Death-94283274.html |title=Flyleaf Is Mindful of Death |author=Jeff Schwachter |date=May 19, 2010 |publisher=Atlanticcityweekly.com |access-date=October 23, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100909011136/http://www.atlanticcityweekly.com/arts-and-entertainment/Flyleaf-is-Mindful-of-Death-94283274.html |archive-date=September 9, 2010 |df=mdy-all }}</ref></blockquote>
 
Former lead vocalist May has felt the band's fans believe she's "not Christian enough" despite professing to be a Christian. She also hopes that people do not discount the band by using the "Christian" label. But despite all this, they're still considered a Christian band in rock world.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://crypticrock.com/kristen-may-flyleaf-interview |title= Interview: Kristen May of Flyleaf Cryptic Rock |publisher=Crypticrock.com |date=July 12, 2013 |access-date=September 27, 2013}}</ref>
 
Although the band relies on themes transcending many faiths and ways of life, they insist being a Christian will always be a part of them and influence their writing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://substreammagazine.com/2014/07/interview-flyleaf-talks-about-their-new-album-at-their-music-video-shoot/|title=INTERVIEW: Flyleaf Talks about Their New Album at their Music Video Shoot|work=Substream Magazine|access-date=October 5, 2014|archive-date=October 6, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006072123/http://substreammagazine.com/2014/07/interview-flyleaf-talks-about-their-new-album-at-their-music-video-shoot/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
