Genre: Alternative, Progressive Metal
Mit ihrem unverwechselbaren Sound ignorieren As Everything Unfolds traditionelle Genregrenzen und erschaffen ihren ganz eigenen Rock- und Alternative-Sound. Mit über 20 Millionen Streams für das Debütalbum „Within Each Lies The Other“ bleibt ihre Kunst nicht unbemerkt. Mit der neuen Platte „Ultraviolet“ (VÖ 21.04.2023) geht’s für die fünfköpfige UK-Band wieder auf die Bühne. Im Mai stehen vier eigene Headline-Shows in Deutschland auf dem Tourplan.
Die Band um Frontfrau Charlie Rolfe ist eine echte Liveinstanz. Das bewiesen As Everything Unfolds bereits auf großen europäischen Festivals wie dem Download, Graspop, Rock For People oder Full Force sowie auf gemeinsamen Tourneen mit u.a. Enter Shikari, Wargasm, Holding Absence oder Being As An Ocean. Den Beweis treten sie in diesem Jahr nicht nur im Rahmen ihrer eigenen Shows an: Im April spielen die Briten fünf Shows im Rahmen der Impericon Festivals 2023 und vom 4. bis 21. Mai sind sie ebenfalls als Support von Callejon auf deren „Eternia Tour“ dabei. Mit der Veröffentlichung ihres neuen Albums und vielen weiteren Gigs in der Pipeline, verspricht 2023 ein großes Jahr für As Everything Unfolds zu werden.
Letters Sent Home formed in 2017 in Wolfsburg, based on the close bonds of friendship of Emily, Lara and Robin, quickly finding a forth member in drummer Louis. The band began their journey fully in 2020 with their first single ‚Mosaic Mirror‘ – and the process that the band have lived through can be described as rollercoaster, full of highs and lows.
Driven by courageous ambition, Letters Sent Home came closer to their goals with their first, self-titled EP in late 2020, which served as the foundation for an incredibly successful 2021.
The group’s second EP, Misery Loves Company, offered a greater expansion of sound, but also two top-class guest features, underlines the band’s increasing heft. Besides Being As An Ocean’s Joel Quartuccio, Letters Sent Home also teamed up with Halflives singer Linda Battilani. Both post-hardcore-infused alternative rock songs, they sit alongside the band’s synth-laden dark-pop influences, showcasing a fine modern pop-rock sound.
The Misery Loves Company EP led to national attention across key alternative media outlets and an ever-growing fanbase, as well as Hassle Records, their new label home for third EP Fire In Me. A stunning listen, it’s a fine demonstration of Letters Sent Home’s non-conforming rock sound and their strong lyrical identity.
Thematically the band touch on the topic of mental health, and vocalist Emily’s personal experiences. The band raise awareness on these themes not just through their music but with initiatives such as their Helpless But Hopeful Festivals and accompanying podcast.
Having now signed with established London-based independent label Hassle Records, Letters Sent Home look set to establish themselves as one of the most promising acts to watch out for over the coming year – new EP Fire In Me coming December 2022, with the quartet already working on crafting their debut album.
