STRANGELETTER
Where doom-romantic and post-progressive rock intersect; Strangeletter is digging for warmth within a saturated ice age of digital space.
Strangeletter’s captivating stage presence and experimental sound have earned them a dedicated fanbase. Their music has gained a reputation for its unique blend of alternative rock, electronic elements, and thought-provoking lyrics.
Steven James Bayless, the founder and lead singer of the enigmatic rock band has carved a niche for himself in the music world with a distinctive voice and his innovative songwriting.
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Steve discovered his passion for music at an early age, often finding solace and inspiration in the diverse range of genres he explored. Officially forming the band in 2009, Steve has been lauded for his ability to weave complex emotions and abstract ideas into compelling musical narratives, with introspective and often surreal lyrical themes.
Strangeletter’s music has been featured in IFC’s Portlandia, commercials for cult hit television shows Firefly & Being Human, Playstation’s inFamous 2 trailer, and licensed for media in countries around the world.
In early 2022, Strangeletter set out on its first collaboration, teaming up with Keith Brown - the creator of the trance-hop artist collective and longtime northwest supergroup, Drumattica. Under the banner of Strangeletter (Feat. Drumattica), a new slate of material is releasing in mid 2023 and 2024.
Strangeletter’s music can be found on all major streaming platforms and digital marketplaces, with live performances planned for 2024.
