Hey there everybody!

Nadia here.

Its been a little while since we've had some good news to blog about...
 
This past weekend, one of the Bay Area's top radio stations, LIVE 105, had a special on their regular Sunday night new music show, Soundcheck. The show was all about the top 10 local bands everyone should know about and LMW was lucky enough to just barely make that list at #9. (Just in time for Beatles Rock Band 09/09/09 and of course Revolution #9 lol. We are SUCH Beatles nerds!)

We shared the list with some amazing local bands and we wanna give a big shout out to all of them and of course Aaron Axelson and LIVE 105 for putting us on the list. So here it is... the bay area's best. Thank you everyone for helping us get there...

1. Scene of Action
2. Set Your Goals
3. Silver Swans
4. The Mumlers
5. Fighting The Villain
6. City Lights
7. I am Empire
8. Goodbye Gadget

And this is what Aaron had to say about it...

We'll keep you guys posted on when merchandise with this logo will be availible.

Thanks for all your patience and support!

-Nadia and the rest of LMW

Letters Make Words is an up-and-coming dual female-fronted alternative rock band from the Bay Area, reminding me of the likes of Belly and Throwing Muses from the '90s. Founded by sisters with similar high-pitched voices, the music is completely centered around their vocals; with the guitars and drums accentuating the well-written lyrics and song rhythms. I really enjoy how Nadia and Naomi's vocals compliment each other as they harmonize and switch off lines during their songs about love and life. Any girl can relate to the lyrics in "My Reasoning," a beautifully composed song about love lost and how to deal with that loss. It also happens to be my favorite song on the album with the marching band style drumming, soft flow of the guitar and bass, and passionate, heart-felt vocals.

The band had to struggle through the loss of two drummers in the past year, but now this foursome is back and ready to perform with their new 16-year-old drummer Corey. Happiness has also found this quartet, with Naomi (bass/vocals) and Justin (guitar) getting married earlier this year, solidifying the band's strength and bond! I look forward to their new recordings, which I'm sure will be enriched with their new life experiences and maturity. Check them out at www.myspace.com/lettersmakewords
