Flyleaf is an American rock band that originated in Belton and Temple, Texas, in 2002. The band has undergone several line-up changes throughout their career, but they first gained mainstream success with the original lead vocalist, Lacey Sturm, who fronted the band until her departure in October 2012. Following Sturm's exit, Kristen May took over as lead vocalist before eventually departing herself in 2016, leading the band to an indefinite hiatus. Known for their emotive and high-energy music, Flyleaf blends heavy alternative rock with poignant, often spiritual lyrics, which has garnered them a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim.

Their self-titled debut album, "Flyleaf" (Deluxe Edition), released in 2005, immediately put the band on the map with its platinum certification and singles like "I'm So Sick" and "All Around Me." The band continued to build on its success with later albums such as "Memento Mori" and "New Horizons." The latter album would be the last featuring Sturm's distinctive vocals before her departure. In 2013, "Remember To Live" offered fans an EP of reworked and unreleased material, demonstrating the band's versatility and depth. With 2014's "Between The Stars," Flyleaf's first full-length with Kristen May on vocals, they continued to resonant with audiences, though it would be the band's final studio album before their hiatus. Despite their current status, Flyleaf's contributions to the alternative rock and post-grunge scenes remain impactful, with a musical legacy that resonates with messages of hope, resilience, and the turmoil of the human experience.
