Letterday

REVIEW: Letterday – Ready

December 18th, 2011 James Shotwell

Artist: Letterday
Album: Ready EP
Genre: Pop Rock

Kicking things off with “Don’t Go,” the return of Letterday wastes no time showcasing their more evolved, atmospherically pleasing take on pop-centric rock. It is clear early on, as well as throughout the record that Letterday has grown exponentially since their three-song demo impacted a …

December 9th, 2011 James Shotwell

New England hardcore act VERSE have announced they are reforming and (in our own words) tackling the world once more in 2012.

Originally disbanding in 2009, Verse announced their reformation earlier today on Bridge9′s official website. VERSE vocalist Sean Murphy commented, “I think it just really came down to us missing playing music and the chemistry we shared in our creative process. Things just got a little crazy in our lives at home, with being on tour all the time, having all this weight to carry and people to keep happy. It really ended up burning us out. We …
