The Letters Organize was a five-piece band from Atlanta, Georgia, which was signed to Nitro Records. Their sound has been described as a malicious, violent, sonic assault. Melding spastic off-kilter rhythms and brutal, complex guitar riffs, was performed in hyperactive live shows. The band officially broke up in November of 2006. Several members of the band have since formed the band Black Volt (http://www.myspace.com/blackvolt) which share many similarities to the Letters Organize sonically.

They were a supporting band for The Offspring in their 2005 Warped Tour along with Send More Paramedics.

[edit] Bio

The Letters Organize formed in 2000 in Atlanta, Georgia. The band's members are Brent Jay (vocalist), Garrett Range (bass and vocals), Donnie Adkinson (Drums), Casey Maxwell (Guitar), and Zach Hinkle (Guitar). Taking influences from bands such as Refused and other post-hardcore bands while incorporating their own style of schizophrenic rock and roll, the band recorded their first EP "Everyone Goes Yeah...Bash!" on Brand Name Records which would subsequently be re-released as "The Cure" later. Their unique sound earned them recognition in the independent music scene, playing with bands such as Vaux and the SXSW festival. Nitro Records soon took interest and signed the band, releasing their only full length "Dead Rhythm Machine" in early 2005, to much critical acclaim from magazines such as Alternative Press among many others.
