Letter Kills is an alternative rock band from Southern California, formed in August 2002.[1]
History
Their first album, The Bridge, was released July 2, 2004.
Hailed by Alternative Press as “the greatest screamo band you’ve never heard of,” Letter Kills rose from the Temecula, California, desert in the early aughts with a riff-heavy collection of hard-charged alternative rock, ’80s hair-metal swagger and punk rock ethos. The band’s 2004 Island Def Jam debut, The Bridge, introduced Letter Kills with a bang: on Fuse and MTV2 with the single “Don’t Believe,” on the Nintendo Fusion Tour alongside My Chemical Romance and in the pages of Rolling Stone.
2023 reunion
In 2023, Duckworth, vocalist Matt Shelton and guitarist Tim Cordova released the single “Right Where You Belong.” Co-produced by the band and Joey Bradford of The Used, “Right Where You Belong” was Letter Kills’ first new music since The Bridge.
