Flyleaf is a Christian band that plays Alternative Metal from the Belton, Texas area. Currently on the A&M/Octone Records label, 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 an existing band owning the rights to that name, their name was changed to Flyleaf after they were signed.

In 2005, the band recorded their first full-length album with Howard Benson (Papa Roach, 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 mainstream single from their debut album was "I'm So Sick", "Fully Alive" was the second and "All Around Me" is the third.

In early 2006, the band moved to J Records as a part of an exclusive band development deal between J Records, RCA, and Octone Records, the band is also distributed to Christian markets under SRE Recordings.

In 2007 Flyleaf have toured with Three Days Grace and throughout Australia with the Australian Soundwave Festival, and have also toured Europe with Stone Sour and Forever Never. In the spring of 2007, Flyleaf headlined their Justice & Mercy Tour which first featured Skillet and Dropping Daylight.

Later on they did a second leg of the tour which featured Sick Puppies, Kill Hannah and Resident Hero. Flyleaf will again join the Family Values Tour in 2007. The song "I'm So Sick" appeared briefly in the 2007 film Live Free Or Die Hard.
