What’s the origin of that name and have you changed the band’s name before?
Jake: I’m not quite sure! I think I was sitting on my laptop on my couch during the 1st lockdownand was listening to the background noise on the tv and something was said about a “Love Letter” on a tv show and I thought that would be a cool band name!
Who writes your songs? What are the main themes or topics for most of your songs and do you think these topics will change over time?
Jake: I wrote The Victim and “Between The Lines” musically and recorded it during the pandemic. I wrote the lyrical and melodically parts for them shortly after. Mike is currently writing a lot of the musical side of things which includes our next upcoming single “Against All Odds”. I think so far they have all been inspired by life events that have involved me or one of the guys. At least on the lyrical side of things.
The whole band contributed each of our influences on this new single.
