Last Minute Letter
Some music blogs and ezines pegged Last Minute Letter to be “on the fast track to success.” (Substream Music Press). The four guys from Saratoga Springs, New York: Jordan Lilly- Vocals/Guitar; Mike Regina- Drums; Tyler Szalkowski- Bass; Jeff Henlin- Guitar, will be playing a few dates in New York, Connecticut and Vermont, stretching out from their home turf.
Billing themselves as punk and power-pop, Last Minute Letter’s players started out very young, trying to catch on to the indie/alternative music train as it roars around the country. The group has also been called “hard-working teenage kids from suburbia,” by Ashlee Dean, writing for The Daily Devil.
High energy would certainly be appropriate for describing such tunes as “Granite Ships” (2008 demo EP). Jordan Lilly’s voice reaches above the frenetic guitar and crashing drums, giving voice to the post-punk feelings in these young fellows. The pace of tunes such as “Granite Ships” gives vent to the pent-up frustration they must feel.
How about giving a listen to “It’s Gonna Be the Worst Night of My Life, No Matter What I Wear” from the same introductory collection? This tune has the same rhythm and feel as “Granite Ships,” yet gives the listener a taste of dynamics and stop/start pace.
“You Leave – Acoustic” from the 2006 EP Seven Weeks, shows a completely different side of Last Minute Letter. Don’t leave LML without listening to it!!

these kids are great! there are really a lot of bands who started at a young age. and i think that is good for them because they still have a lot to develop. i am looking forward to see these guys reach their success, which i think they have already reached. these talented people are the ones who made music alive. oh, and i really love Jordan Lilly’s voice.=)
I was expecting another cookie-cutter boy band when I clicked on the myspace page. I’m glad I clicked, and listened though. They aren’t cookie cutter. I can hear some other influences in their music, but there’s enough of themselves in it as well.
These guys are going to reach heights as they are so talented and as they have started their career at such a young age this is also proving to be an asset to the band as their is scope for more improvement which generally is not possible.The awesome voice of Jordan Lilly is another asset for this band.
lol. yeah. well, now a days, bands are not just like what we expect. bands like Backstreet boys, westlife, the moffats, boyzone A1 and a lot more are those who are very popular before. but now, we can see new bands very different. and it is great to see that they are not all the same. they have their own uniqueness.
Hey guys its Jordan from LML- thank you for all the kind words!! Check out our new EP “Don’t Speak So Soon” out now! We really think youll like it
