The Sixth Letter

About The Sixth Letter

The Sixth Letter is a product of a compulsion to create. In its early form, lead singer Marx Morta would piece beats together on any equipment he could get his hands on. Whether that was a sampler with about 30mb of memory bounced onto a cassette - to dated old computers from his first job in an office. After spending the majority of time making music by himself and as tastes and preferences ebbed and flowed - so did the production and song writing. Plays on BBC Radio 1 by the likes of legendary DJ's Steve Lamacq and John Peel quickly followed. A need to collaborate was felt, and band was what was required. The songs took a different shape once they were played by individuals, and re interpreted. While nu metal can be tagged on to The Sixth Letter’s style, it’s the less angular or aggressive end of the spectrum that they’re akin to - bands such as Sugar Ray, Incubus. Deftones, Hed Pe and Snot made a big impression. That and punk / rock with band members (former and current) having spent many a week in a van touring in bands of that genre, meant that 'DIY' ethic that started everything - has come full circle into 2021 and the band are ready to take the world by storm. Strap in.
