Meet… Love Letter

Written By Mike Greenblatt
Love Letter band

When asked to describe their music, Bergen County band Love Letter (from Westwood) wrote that “Child Of The Earth” is “goth-punk with a thrash breakdown written about a queer child being told by society that they’re confused.” “Inferno” is a “groovy punk song about how celebrities are too materialistic to care about climate change.” “Waste” is a “twisted ballad about being stalked by an abusive ex-partner and the mental trauma derived from that.” “Exodus” is a “dream-like ballad about fighting one’s self in a depressive episode.” All four songs will come out June 14 on their new EP.  They consider themselves alt-rock with a gothic flair. One of the band members, Bruce Macchione, says the EP “captures the strange essence of our sound.”
