▄███▌ ▐███▄
████ In 2003, Metallica brought their Summer Sanitarium Tour to the ████
████ Candlestick Park. It was this day that Mike Keller, founding ████
████ member of Letters From The Fire, realized what he wanted to do in ████
████ life. He wanted to rock. ôWatching Metallica, along with Limp ████
████ Bizkit, Linkin Park, the Deftones and Mudvayne up on that stageà ████
████ it just hit me that I wanted to be doing that one day,ö Keller ████
████ admits. KellerÆs high school buddy, Grayson Hurd, had the same ████
████ epiphany a few months later watching Linkin ParkÆs Meteora World ████
████ Tour. Being two of the only people in their circle of friends ████
████ that played guitar, the pair found a garage and started spending ████
████ time between school and football practice jamming together. ████
████ ████
████ After a few years of casually playing, Keller and Hurd decided to ████
████ give their dreams a real shot. In January 2007, they played their ████
████ first show under the name of Park Lane. From here on out, the two ████
████ began to recruit other musicians and worked to find their sound. ████
████ To help with the process, they were able to jump into the studio ████
████ with Mike Boden (Mudvayne, Joe Satriani, Carrie Underwood). ████
████ Although the tracks were ultimately not released, the experience ████
████ helped the band become who they are today. ████
████ ████
████ In 2009, Clayton Wages responded to a Craigslist ôBassist Wantedö ████
████ listing. After a meeting and an audition, he became the newest ████
████ member of the band. ôWho says you canÆt find a bad ass musician ████
████ on Craigslist?!ö Hurd asks. With the addition of Wages, three of ████
████ the four current band members had come together. ████
████ ████
████ Also in 2009, Park Lane began touring. Beginning with dates ████
████ around their hometown in California, the band ended the year ████
████ playing over 30 shows in six states. A summer tour in 2010 ████
████ followed, and a national tour as main support to FUEL began in ████
████ August of 2011. ôThereÆs nothing like finally being able to play ████
████ the music that we write in front of people that weÆve never met. ████
████ Sometimes, we would get to a city and play a show where people ████
████ already knew our songs. Considering we jumped on the tour less ████
████ than a month before, that was really awesome,ö Keller exclaims. ████
████ ████
████ In the midst of the tour with FUEL, the band released their first ████
████ full-length album on September 20. This twelve track album was ████
████ produced by Michael Rosen (Papa Roach, Rancid, AFI, Santana) and ████
████ was the bandÆs first taste of a full-fledged production. Hurd ████
████ explains what it was like working with Rosen: ôBefore we jumped ████
████ into the studio for that album, a lot of songs we had written ████
████ were covered in æteenage angst.Æ Rosen showed us how to tear our ████
████ songs apart to put them back together better than before. In the ████
████ end, I think working on that record with him is when we really ████
████ learned how to write music.ö ████
████ ████
████ Due to a lack of confidence that Park Lane was a ôcool enough ████
████ band name to carry forward withö and multiple trademark issues, ████
████ Park Lane officially became Letters From The Fire in July 2012. ████
████ The new name originally came from the working title of a song ████
████ that was on Park LaneÆs 2011 release. It later became the actual ████
████ title of that record and, more importantly, the bandÆs new name. ████
████ ████
████ For the first release as Letters From The Fire, the band enlisted ████
████ help from industry veterans. Rebirth was released in 2012 and ████
████ featured five new tracks. The EP was produced by Evanescence ████
████ co-founder Ben Moody. Other accomplishments of MoodyÆs include ████
████ work with Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, and Daughtry and ████
████ songwriting credits like Kelly ClarksonÆs smash hit ôBecause of ████
████ You.ö In addition to MoodyÆs expertise, Josh Newell engineered ████
████ the EP. Former bass player for In This Moment, NewellÆs engineer ████
████ credits include Linkin ParkÆs A Thousand Suns and the bandÆs ████
████ Summer 2014 release The Hunting Party. Dan Certa (Kelly Clarkson, ████
████ The Fray, Celine Dion, Seether, P.O.D) also joined the project ████
████ and mixed Rebirth. ████
████ ████
████ To support this release, Letters From The Fire joined the Around ████
████ The WorldàBeneath The Scars Tour with 12 Stones and The Letter ████
████ Black. As this tour wrapped, the departure of Letters From The ████
████ FireÆs lead singer opened up a new search for the next voice of ████
████ the band. Keller, Hurd, and Wages found the sound they always ████
████ envisioned for the band in May of 2013. This was the voice of ████
████ Elliot Weber. ████
████ ████
████ Since adding Weber, Letters From The Fire has been working on ████
████ their next full-length album with TRAPT lead singer, Chris Taylor ████
████ Brown. ████
████ ████
████ HereÆs what Brown says of the band and what fans can expect from ████
████ the new album: ôLetters From The Fire is a band years in the ████
████ making and I've been fortunate enough to see their progression ████
████ from the beginning. The new album has some of the sickest guitar ████
████ riffs I've heard in a long time. Elliot's vocals are the perfect ████
████ complement to a band that can only be described as melodic metal. ████
████ As ferocious and heavy as their music can be, the vocals add a ████
████ beautiful and sincere tone to the dark ambience present in the ████
████ band's music. Lyrical themes touch deeply on personal conflict, ████
████ dreams, aspirations and the hidden tragedies that go on all ████
████ around us that so few have the insight to write about. Be ████
████ prepared to see (and most importantly hear) a lot from my friends ████
████ in Letters From The Fire." ████
████ ████
████ Dan Certa is mixing this project as well. The new release from ████
████ Letters From The Fire is slated for Summer 2014. ████
████ ████
████ In the meantime, you can hear Letters From The FireÆs rendition ████
████ of The BeatlesÆ popular track ôEleanor Rigbyö on Active Rock ████
████ Radio beginning Spring 2014. ████
