Automatic Loveletter
Automatic Loveletter is a rock band, with acoustic influences, from the US. The band formed in Tampa, Florida, in 2007, led by vocalist and guitarist Juliet Simms, her older brother and lead guitarist Tommy Simms, drummer Ryan Metcalf, and bassist Clint Fowler.
Simms and her longtime drummer and collaborator, Daniel Currier, recorded with producer Matt Squire (Panic at the Disco, All Time Low) for their Recover EP, which was released exclusively by Hot Topic in 2008, and with Curt Schneider for their iTunes EP Automatic Loveletter, which came out in early 2009. Between writing and recording, the band toured the country, first in two cars, then in a bigger car with a UHaul attached, and eventually in a van. They shared the stage with Secondhand Serenade, Cute Is What We Aim For, From First To Last, Say Anything, Between the Trees and Craig Owens, and played Bamboozle and Bamboozle Left in 2008. The highlight came in the summer of 2008, when Automatic Loveletter got themselves on the Vans Warped Tour, where they drastically increased their fanbase and honed their live performance
Up to and while touring with 2008 Vans Warped Tour, Automatic Loveletter held #1 or #2 position on the Myspace Music Emo chart for 6 months, hitting 10 million listens.
On 9/8/11 A.LL released "Dream With Me" to support those who have lost a loved one in the 9/11 attacks and hoping for peace.
Their latest album, 'The Kids Will Take Their Monsters On' is quite literally one of my favourite albums, ever.
It's almost completely acoustic and Juliet Simms' vocals meant there was no way it wouldn't also become
one of the albums I listen to every day.
I can't fault it.
