Dizzy Storm Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Canadas DEAD LETTER DEPT take an aggressive and energetic approach to up-tempo rock. Their style is instantly appreciated by anyone with a penchant for loud, edgy hooks tightly stitched together with honest, unapologetic lyrics. This is straight up punk rock played by Canadian kids with balls, heart and enough integrity and angst to take out all-American pop punk with one strum on a black rusted Jackson Charvelle.Their sound is tricky because so much goes along with the band's songs, that on the first listen it isn't so black and white. With poetic lyrics, unapologetic atheist views and politics that stretch too far to the left to consider them a typical uncaring pop-punk band."Pop-punk", "power-pop", "straight-up punk rock"; it's easy to throw labels around but not easy for the 3 Canadian guys in dead letter dept. to always swallow them.Dead Letter Dept: Rob Moir - guitars, vocalsMike Leblanc - drumsAndrew Sparks - bassDanny Complex - guitarsDiscography: 1996 - The Stiffs, s/t. 14 song cassette (independent release)1997 - The Stiffs, Dumb Songs About Dumb Girls. 6 song cassette (independent release)1998 - The Stiffs, No One Knows. 8 song cassette (independent release)1999 - The Stiffs, Forever In A Day. 11 song CD (Ductape Records)2001 - Dead Letter Dept., s/t. 5 song CD EP (Ductape Records)2002 - Dead Letter Dept., split release with Left Behind. 3 song 7" (Say-Ten Records) 2003 - Dead Letter Dept., Anthology UK (Noo Noo Rrecordswww.deadletterdept.comwww.noonoorecords.comsupport from SLAPHAPPY, MUFF & SHORT WARNINGMON 29TH SEPT8PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
