Fellow Torontonians/Hamiltonians: An acoustic band for you to check out!

[Vincent Le]

I've discussed little about them before in my intro thread to myself. :P But here is their bio:

Letterbox Black is a two-man acoustic project formed in late 2007 by Hamilton natives Blake Bliss and Aeson.

We both grew up in the suburbs of southern Ontario and have been best friends for over a decade. Both of us faced a variety of ups and downs, challenges and triumphs, some faced separately and others together. Our passion, past experiences and our close friendship are bridged together to create the music of Letterbox Black.

Letterbox Black has been described as heart-felt, passionate, independent acoustic rock following the likes of artists such as The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkle, Oasis, Dallas Green, Death Cab For Cutie, Emily Haynes, and the Goo Goo Dolls.

Both of our diverse music tastes also bring subtle influences from artists from other genres such as Anders Fridén, Jello Biafra, Davey Havok, Ohgr, and Beth Gibbons. Our on-stage improve and humour has been compared to the likes of The Flight Of The Conchords and Demetri Martin.

Most importantly, Letterbox Black is about making a difference in the world. We hope to be able to influence the world in a positive way, to get people away from violence and abuse and closer to love, compassion and empathy.
We sincerely hope you enjoy our music and please leave us comments, check out our pictures, videos, blogs and merchandise (we have to eat somehow!).

We're just trying to shed some new light, and help those who cry out everyday over -real- problems. We urge you to reach out to those in need. We want to be the voice for all those who cry out in pain - Please help spread our message. Help us put a stop to these social Injustices. Join us, and together we can put some compassion back into this cold world.

They also have an industrial metal band called Vosqq and they are quite awesome too :)

VOSQQ formed (some would say congealed) in 2003 to explore new dimensions of abrasive tones and environments. Unearthed in the toxic soil of an industrial brownfield in Toronto/Hamilton, Canada. Complemented by a rotating roster of guest artists, VOSQQ use all manner of audio and vocal manipulations to craft their inconsistent and unpredictable sound. From faint oscillations to cascading earthquakes of noise to ear searing screams, VOSQQ redefine the state of unified, renewable undeath.
