Blackletter is a creepy, apocalyptic rock band from the Providence area who as young children dreamed of being vampires, David Bowie and even Lovecraft’s musical accompaniment.
Blackletter’s first EP, “Digital Vinyl-Station15” was released in the winter of 2015 to local praise: “Hell Hath Fury is an original, intense prog-rock version of Metallica’s ‘Unforgiven’ with a NIN bridge and piano outré.” –Marc Clarkin of Motif Magazine. Blackletter was a 2015 WBRU Rock Hunt finalist and appeared that year on BRU’s Home BRU’d. In 2016, they were featured on WHJY, Boston Rock Radio and internationally on German and Australian radio. Blackletter has shared the stage with the Giraffes of Brooklyn and the Ghost Wolves of Austin, TX. They regularly play The Met, Jimmy’s Saloon in Newport, Ralph’s Rock Diner in Worcester and Boston venues such as Charlie’s Kitchen. Little known fact: Blackletter’s lead vocalist was once likened by a bewildered fan to “a duke proclaiming from a mountaintop.”
Holy Roller High is experimental boozed up folk n’ roll.
