Dead Letter Box

The Vision

Dead Letter Box explores the dichotomy of love and hate and exposes the many truths blinded by emotion. The music represents the light and the dark; the good and the evil. Lyrically, rhythmically, and sonically, Dead Letter Box provides clarity and wonder within their music. Their songs are stories of life events examined from all sides. In essence, music that serves as a mirror to discover one’s self.

The different backgrounds of this New York City quartet were brought together mid 2005. Fusing their influences, Dead Letter Box quickly developed a form of song writing they could call their own which can be described as hard rock, southern groove and elements of metal illustrated by dynamic vocal range and aggressive riffs. Their songs range from progressive epic melodies to hard pounding metal breaks as the music takes the listener on a different journey every time. Never concerned with fitting into the trends of today or marketed by the diluted industry standards Dead Letter Box’s primary focus is song writing that will stand the test of time.
