A Cursive Memory

Changes *

The only test they’d be much too fast to take would probably involve algebra, as the February debut by these edge-free mallrats has more in common with the youthful Jonas Brothers than with the venerable Bowie. Yet despite the overdose of sickeningly sweet, laughably earnest piano-pop, there’s hope: The orchestral arrangement on “A Different Kind of Love” indicates that pretty soon, they’re gonna get a little older.

With Saves the Day, Armor for Sleep, Set Your Goals, Metro Station. April 4, 7 p.m., $13.50. The Joint, 693-5066.
