Welcome to FlyleafOnline, a fansite for the Texas band Flyleaf.
In affiliation with FlyleafFans, we aim to bring you the latest
in news, multimedia, and information. Thanks for visiting the site!
This website is not directly affiliated with AMOctone, and is not run by Flyleaf's management or by Flyleaf themselves.
We're just fans running a fansite. Please forward general fanmail to the band's email.
I’m sure a lot of you have played around with the FormSpring site before. It’s a pretty interesting thing, so I thought I would start up a page for FlyleafOnline.com, where you can ask questions about the band, site, etc. You can click on the link to get to the page, or type in your question on the side bar. In running the website for 5 years, I’ve picked up on some facts & trivia along the way. Maybe you can find out something cool you didn’t know before! Personal questions about the band won’t be answered, but that goes without saying. Let’s keep it fun. :D
Tons of pictures can be seen below! I have a ton more to add as well, so stay tuned if you’ve sent in photos and you don’t see them up yet. If you’ve taken pictures at a show and want to contribute, you can email them to brittany@flyleafonline.com.
Laura stumbled upon this video where the band talks about their driving force, almost quitting, and how the scrapbooks that you guys have all contributed to have helped them keep going. I thought it was really awesome that Lacey mentioned it.
Tons and tons of new tour dates with Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace have been announced in the past couple weeks, and they’re all posted here. Thanks to Caleb for uploading them. :) We’re going to be at a few of them (like always), so I hope to see some of you there! :)
According to the band’s Twitter page, they are currently recording the music video for Missing. You can view lots of pictures on their FaceBook. Here’s one just to give you guys an idea of what to expect!
For this upcoming tour, I’m going to be putting together another Flyleaf Scrapbook to give to the band. If Memento Mori has moved you in any way (or anything else related to the band), please share it here. I have a feeling this one is going to be a good one. :D I think this will be number 5!
Flyleaf Remains Connected And Motivated Through Scrapbooks
The members of Flyleaf write some emotional tracks that connect with audiences across the country, and they actually have a tangible way of seeing how their music has affected others. Singer Lacey Sturm explains that the webmaster for the fan site Flyleafonline.com makes scrapbooks of material from listeners that show the group how their music is affecting them. Sturm notes that the scrapbooks are very motivating, and adds that looking through them can be a very emotional experience. Guitarist Sameer Bhattacharya says the band keeps the scrapbooks in a safe place so nothing happens to them while on the road. However, some letters get a more prominent display, and are posted on the bulletin board on their bus. Flyleaf’s new album, “Memento Mori,” will be in stores November 10th. — Source
Although she knows how much we all enjoy her hard work; Thank You, Brittany! It was a wonderful idea for the scrapbooks, and it’s terrificĂ‚Â to know the band cherishes them. Ă‚Â Thanks againĂ‚Â for creating a beautiful site and giving us up-to-date Flyleaf news all the time, Brittany!

You can submit at anytime and the books will be delivered to the band (via UPS or whenever Brittany is at a show)Ă‚Â when they become full.
Last call for this particular scrapbook guys! I’m making it tonight and tomorrow to be delivered to the band in North Carolina, so if you want your entry included in this one, be sure to email it to me at brittany@flyleafonline.com or use the handy dandy form on the scrapbook page. Preferably tonight if you want to include anything, because I hope to get most of it done tonight. Tomorrow afternoon at the very latest.
Anything I receive after that will be included in the next one, so don’t worry if you can’t come up with something immediately!
Thanks to everyone who already contributed something for this one. I’ve had tons and tons of entries to sort through. I’ll do my best to make it all fit!
Here is a new picture of the band rehearsing for their upcoming tour that kicks off April 28th. Is anybody going to any of the upcoming shows? If you have the chance to go, you really should. Completely worth it. Roadtrip if you can! Also…….
I wanted to give everyone a friendly reminder about the Flyleaf Scrapbook Project that we’ve had going for over 2 years now. I’m going to be making another one before the North Carolina shows I’m going to, so please consider submitting something for it if you feel moved to. The cutoff for this book will be May 07, 2009. This will be the 4th one that we’ve put together. Kind of a nice tradition that I love being in the position to do, so if you have a story, drawing, or some words of encouragement, please email me with it. Here are some pictures of past scrapbooks if anybody was wondering what they end up looking like. :]
Flyleaf’s Say Now page had been kind of quiet as of late, but Jared and Sameer have left some new updates. Sameer talks about how he’s been practicing and writing some new stuff, and Jared talks about how they’re going to officially start writing next week for the new record. I’m personally very excited about that.
I also wanted to let everyone know that I’m going to start working on the fourth Flyleaf Scrapbook soon, which will hopefully be delivered to the band on September 1st in Syracuse. This one is actually going to be a book that I’m going to be designing and printing professionally using MyPublisher.com, which I’m super excited about. So if you have anything to contribute in the way of a collage, story, or anything else, be sure to submit it within the next few weeks so it’s included.
Hey guys, I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m putting together another fanbook this week. Caleb and I will be traveling to Texas to see Ali, and in the meantime, we’ll be seeing Flyleaf in San Antonio on April 4th at the Sunken Gardens. We’ll be giving the band the scrapbook before the show.
This has been a really awesome project so far. I’ve been able to put together 2 books previously, making this the 3rd. Each of the first ones had a hundred messages a piece, and the band has loved everything that you guys have written. This upcoming book is well on its way to being the biggest. I already have over 200 submissions toward this one collected.
If you want to be included in this book, please visit this page to learn how. The deadline is Friday March 28th, 2008. Thank you guys for contributing to this project and making it what it is. I know it means a lot to them to read your messages.
I’m currently compiling the second Scrapbook for Flyleaf that will be given to the band at the Scranton, PA show at Tink’s. This is kind of a last call so to speak. If you want to be included in this one, get your submissions in by Sunday night. You can read more about the project here.
Also, if you’re going in the Scranton area and planning on going, I’ll be at the signing as well as the show with a ton of free Flyleaf stuff to hand out. If you’re interested in meeting up or want to help out with the free stuff, feel free to contact me through email beforehand. :D
Flyleaf will be playing a secret show on September 12, 2007 at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, NC. If you’re in that general area, you should consider going to the show. It’s absolutely free of charge. The ST has had us promoting the show, so that’s how we know it’s official. Otherwise, it’s been a well kept secret. Go to the show and support the band if you’re nearby!
In other news, the official merch site has been updated with new shirts and a new hoodie. The band also has a page on SayNow.com where they post voicemail messages from the road.
In the media section, I finally added the audio from the Rolling Stone Acoustics since they’re no longer available for purchase. In addition to that, some new videos were added. 3 new live videos from Atlanta thanks to Spree, and 1 amazing interview from Music Choice’s Fresh Crops thanks to Josh.
In the internet section some new affiliates were added including a brand new Flyleaf site called Flyleaf Web. So go show Justin some love and visit his site.
A reminder to those who want to donate something to the Scrapbook Project: I’m going to be putting another book together between this and next weekend to give to the band at the Scranton, PA Tink’s show on September 18th. So if you want to be included in the next book, please email me your submission soon.
To the couple people who had a question about the scrapbook project, I wanted to clear something up. There will be an indefinite amount of books as long as you guys keep sending in stuff for them. So don’t feel like you’re too late because you missed the first one. :D
In the article section, a new interview/article was posted where Lacey talks about the 2007 FVT, her early life, and her musical influences. The frequently asked questions got updated with the meaning to Perfect. In addition to that, the chart page was updated again. All Around Me is up to #20 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
Other than that, a couple of new fan tattoos have been added, as well as Shiloh’s story. So everyone should check those out.
The scrapbook project was a big success. Over 50 people entered something for the book, and the very first one is completed. I spent around 12 hours putting it all together yesterday. It will be delivered to the band this Sunday at the Hartford, Connecticut show. Caleb, Ali and I will be attending that show if anybody wants to shout us a h0lla.
The band section has been updated with more new numbers on the chart history page. According to Billboard.com, Flyleaf has the #1 Christian and Gospel album right now. All Around me is also moving up the charts consistently. So congratulations to them.
A new wallpaper was added up thanks to Courtney. Also, a new fan tattoo was put up as well. Thanks to Debra for submitting that.
A project page has been added to the fan section. It’s a scrapbook project from the fans to the band that everyone should check out and consider submitting something for. All of the details can be found on this page. Also, in the fan section, the fanart and tattoo pages have been updated.
The media section has been updated with 9 new icons and 3 awesome new wallpapers all made by Karla. In addition to that, 3 more videos have been added up that consist of So I Thought and Cassie from Camden, and Tina from Chambersburg.
In the band section, the meaning to All Around Me was added to the FAQ page. Also, a live version of Again has been uploaded to the Flyleaf Online radio. I’ll be adding Have We Lost as soon as I can get my hands on some good audio of it.
