With You Play Song

LETTERDAY- The Band is Born is is a tight knit, hard working, no bullshit Rock band from Boston, MA. started playing together in 2001 as a group of friends that shared a love for energetic pop songs and a need to release that energy through music. If pressed to, the band would say we sound a little bit like early Fall Out Boy and Blink 182, but definitely with more of Descendents/Rancid-like approach yet with their own unique blend and style of music they call their own. We don’t try to win anybody over with tight jeans and haircuts, and we play our songs as hard and loud as we can, every performance.

Right now, “LetterDay” is in the recording studio finishing up their Album titled “The Company We Keep” due to be released early 2010. The new EP has a very pop edge, the result of the band trying to funnel recent relationship woes into lyrics and music that anyone can relate and sing to. “We never pull punches”, says LetterDay. “Our band means the world to us and we put our hearts and souls into making the best music we can and performing our asses off at every venue.” We’ve been places and met people that we never would have otherwise. We’ve learned things about ourselves and about each other that have been life altering. I’m pretty sure at least one of us would be dead without it. “We’re not trying to sell t-shirts or make people want to dance”. “This is like therapy for us”. So if people are looking for honesty, I like to think that we’re a perfect suit for them.

LetterDay is interested in these days is recording and performing the best possible songs in front of as many people as possible like a self-sustaining machine but says its most important that their music does not feel contrived, but rather like their songs were born out of necessity, almost as if the musicians would have burst out the seams if they didn’t get their words and their instruments recorded at that very moment. “Not sad, just honest”.
 
LetterDay says “The best part about playing live is looking out and seeing people getting it”. Every time we get up on stage we bare everything we’ve got; and to see people connecting to that and to feel like they understand where that comes from is incredible. “We were hooked”.

A surprising tidbit of information about the band is that each one of our past band members (Vito, Michael, Sonny, and Alfredo) has been named after a character from the Godfather. When I asked what kind of music LetterDay likes to listen, who they admire or listen to in the car the replied “Right now we’re kind of hooked on “Let the Dominoes Fall” by Rancid, Wilhelm Scream’s “Career Suicide,” and “36 Chambers” by Wu-Tang Clan”.
