Across three well-received EPs of “sad, hard music”, German quartet Letters Sent Home have made their name as a band who match infectious melody and huge choruses, with the lyrical depth and heart of people with a lot to say. Formed while at school in Germany’s northern countryside in 2015, and becoming a serious project a couple of years later following singer Emily Paschke and bassist Lara Ripke’s time studying in North America, Letters Sent Home’s unique sound – an energised mix of pop-punk, alt. rock and emo – has served as a vessel for Emily’s inner turbulence, set to music that’s as electrified and youthful as her lyrics are deep. Letters Sent Home is Emily Paschke [vocals], Lara Ripke [bass], Robin Werner [guitar], and Louis Schramm [drums].
