About Me

The Red Letter Year was formed in late 2004. They released their debut ep "Coast Is Calling" on November 22nd roughly a year later. They enjoyed some small success thanks in large part due to a very supportive fan base via myspace. Another break came from an appearance in Skratch Magazine in the summer and a spot on a compliation cd in the fall. "Coast Is Calling" also enjoyed success on several college radio stations both in St. Louis and in Dectaur (IL). It has also been shipped out to fans from Missouri to Michigan, Ohio to California, and Utah and all the way to the UK. So, if you haven't done so already, get a copy now. Enjoy the tunes and let The Red Letter Year bring home for you. To order the ep email: [email protected]
