LETTERS MAKE WORDS- The Band



VOLITE INC.- The Belt Company


Influences: The influential people of Crush Management in NY. Bands who interact with their fans. Bands who don't call their fans "kids". Fans who sing every single word to every song of their favorite band. People who live life the way they want to live it. Old people with smile lines instead of wrinkles. Beautiful sunsets in the most remote places. Silence. When the music coming out of headphones is loud enough for others to hear. Writers who believe in and live out every word they write. Family. Friends. Passionate people. Love. Traveling to see new places and experience new things. Art. Everything music related. D.I.Y approach towards all dreams.
Sounds Like: Goosebumps rising above the surface of your forearms. X-factor.
Record Label: A Kid At Heart Management
Type of Label: Indie
