about

Meet Love Letter, the latest to join New England hardcore’s esteemed lineage.

Formed by guitarist Jay Maas (ex-Defeater) and Quinn Murphy (ex-Verse), Love Letter is a culmination of the many roads they’ve taken together in hardcore. Today the band is releasing their debut single “New Anthemic,” a track that perfectly exemplifies the many colors the group uses in their sonic palette. It’s a perfect introduction to the kind of intensity on deck.

With a full-length debut in the works for later this year on Iodine Recordings, this is only the beginning for Love Letter. Though familiar traces of Defeater and Verse permeate through the band, this is the next step in both Maas and Murphy’s creative expression. There’s a total freedom in the band’s songwriting, and their desire to push the limits of where heartfelt, emotive and heavy music can go is apparent with every note and word.

"New Anthemic reflects on personal growth, urging introspection and unlearning negative traits and past trauma. It's a journey of facing regrets, acknowledging the impact on others, and striving to minimize harm. It emphasizes the importance of confronting learned behaviors, shaped by challenging childhoods, to foster positive change and reduce the pain inflicted on those we care about." - Quinn / Love Letter
