Lyrics:

half way home
every trip down 99 you spent alone
always bought yourself some scratchers and a smoke
always walking cause there was no place to go

i’d like to say - something that cures you
but I’m afraid - that I just curse you
but i’m your friend - so let me hold your hand
i'm promising - it’s not just in your head

i’m walking the breadline on highway 99
it’s a scary movie, and I’m closing my eyes
well anything helps on a cardboard sign
but you're stuck out there, and i’m stuck inside

Lyrics:
Hard potential
That negates
What's essential
In a life 

I didn't ask for the time
I didn't wait for a polite okay
You could feel it at night
And we can say
We didn't flake 

I saw the moment just fine
A window of truth and naivete
With history on the mind
And we can say 
We didn't flake

Of course
Not
Of course
Not!

So much potential!

Lyrics:

Ember
Hot coal
Heat what
I Froze

I thought it wouldn't matter
How our time was worn
But really does a clock tick?
In the hit of a drum's kick?
We joked it was a picnic
I thought it wouldn't matter

I thought it wouldn't matter
The things that we had sworn
But really do the words stick?
In the strum of a guitar pick?
You're worried that I'm homesick
I thought it wouldn't matter

Both spark and cinder!

It doesn't matter
Never mattered
We remember
That November
Seasons gather
By the ember

It fills the room

Ember

Lyrics:

I never wanted my own
You get the physical phone call
And it's past your prime

Won't ever be that time
To hope for two blue lines
Am I ok? I'm fine, I'm fine
Why should we all comply?
I got the right supply
It's mine, all mine

Though it's fitting for some
It's not the beat of my drum
I'm the end of the line

Don't need a cosmic sign
I got my stars aligned
We're fine, we're fine
Why should I justify?
I got the right supply
It's mine, all mine

Right Supply

REVIEWS:

"Vocals weave and turn through the vigorous melodies and riffs of dual guitars of Chester Cun and Kai Brunson, punctuated by the tight yet enjoyably spastic drumming of Jake Campbell. Vigorous rhythms and organized chaos subsist with melodic intricacies, combining a bit of sugar with all of the shred-heavy technicality."

"The album opens with ‘The Badlands’, a strangely satisfying emo-folk-bluegrass merger that has the band extolling the virtues of campfire tranquility in soothing vocal harmony. From here, Laying By The Fire launches into a cavalcade of emo with twiddly-twaddly guitar play aplenty. This is a release that is bound to satisfy aficionados of Tiny Moving Parts, Two Knights and the Topshelf Records oeuvre. For those searching for some heartfelt, straight-up-the-middle emo with a sprinkle of math rock, look no further." 

   - Fecking Bahamas

"Their music feels indebted to old-school emo to an extent, but it doesn’t feel too overbearingly emotional; its lyrics are more abstract and poetic than they are tear-soaked diary-esque, and it’s clear that they’re more focused on winning you over with their dizzying grooves and punk aggression."

"Curse League takes math rock and drives it off the rails. They make music that your mom will not like and they’re fine with that... Curse League tactfully plays with the intersection of emo and math rock, telling a story which largely unfolds on the US/Mexico border about immigrants, cartels, and community." 

   - Northwest Music Scene

"...the bouncy energy that radiates from the sweet noodling of these intricate riffs plays off an opulent if not saccharine shout that echoes through your head like a rubber ball bouncing off the walls of an empty room. Curse League does it a bit different; opting to trade-in those emotionally ripe shouts for something more subdued, and there’s a peacefulness to those vocals that creates a beautiful contrast from the sharp, staccato notes that bounce back at you with every listen." 

   - Substream Magazine

"Leaving home operates at the forefront for this Seattle-based band, which may have to do with their youthful positions in life, and it seems that their best reaction to the jarring moment of being let loose is to play the fuck out of their instruments. Curse League sound unabashedly resilient about stepping out into the world. "

   - Atwood Magazine

"These Seattle duders play Math/emo tinged punk in the same vein as bands like Glocca Morra or Tera Melos, but a little less Twinkle Daddy and a little more party punk. Regardless of which way they lean on the emo spectrum, these dudes make some rad tunes that aren't to be missed."

   - The Holland Project

"Curse League deliver a bold take on the well explored math-rock formula that finds them set apart from their peers in their conceptual/musical ambition. In a scene that fetishizes technique over song structure/album flow, Curse League took the time to make sure that every song is not only theoretically sound, but also ensured that sonically the songs match the thematic elements being presented by the vocalist in a cohesive manner that will leave a lasting impact on the listener." 

   - Sick Snaps

"Curse League writes with meaning. Their upcoming record, Laying by the Fire in Good Company, will take the listener on the path of a carefully written story, built upon the foundation of delicately crafted songs." 

   - Seattle Music Insider

"Curse League, an indie band out of Seattle that blends emo and math rock to produce a sound softer than both. Its music, as emphasized on its most recent album, Laying by the Fire in Good Company (self-released, 2018), is curated chaos, a jumble of notes woven just tightly enough to become song."
