    Flyleaf and Paper Tongues at Varsity Theater

    Flyleaf plays the sort of standardized hard rock that’s just radio-friendly enough for mass appeal—the band’s eponymous debut sold more than a million copies—but not quite innovative enough for any kind of actual critique. Does this make the Texas five-piece a bad band? Not necessarily. It knows how to write a hit record; its songs are emotive, polished efforts and frontwoman Lacey Mosley delivers on vocal harmonies that reach church choir-like projections. Early reviews of the band's soon-to-be-released sophomore effort, Memento Mori, have been generally positive, but then it’s easy to please when the audience is already built-in.
