Toronto, ON – On November 11, emerging Canadian pop artist Josh Alexander is set to release his inspiring new EP Forevermore via Believe Canada and all streaming platforms.

Produced by up-and-coming Johan Modrin, the six-track EP is daring, beautiful and brave. Within it, Josh has created a lyrical sensation that drives pop through the bass of a heartbeat, plucking those strings with each melody. 

Forevermore takes a trip from a heartfelt opening on “Sincerely, Josh” to Hurricane, a driving pop anthem that was released earlier this year and is a homage to loved ones enduring hard times. The EP’s title track, “Forevermore”, is a perfect exit from this uplifting, creative twist on trendsetting vibrations, encapsulating emotions of undeniable love, power and vulnerability.

“This collection of songs is a letter to the ones I love,” says Josh Alexander. “I put my whole heart into this EP, and I can’t wait to bring you all on this journey with me, Forevermore.” 

Before settling in Montreal, Josh was born and raised in a Latin Canadian household in Quebec City. The young creative has always surrounded himself with music and grew up constantly singing cover songs from his favourite acts including Coldplay and John Legend. Since his debut on Quebec singing competition La Voix, Josh’s passion for music has led him through various adventures, with the song Je serai là featured in the children’s film La course des Tuques. Later in 2019, Josh Alexander released Level Up which was just the beginning for this rising Quebec pop artist. With a voice that ties range and authenticity into a mesmerizing dance, this hot new artist is on the rise across Canada.

celebration of the news, Letters Sent Home has also announced its debut UK live performance: the group will be supporting alt-rockers Blackout Problems at London’s Black Heart on 16th November.

The band comment: ““Fire” is a perfect introduction into that new mindset as it portrays a world full of hatred which can only be saved through love – the love we feel and especially give. “The fire in me is burning me to the ground”, meaning only love will be the end of me. I will not die with hatred in my heart.”

Fire In Me will be available as a limited vinyl release of 200 copies, pressed on crystal clear vinyl and handnumbered and signed by the band. Available exclusively from the Hassle Records store, the physical EP features new versions of Letters Sent Home‘s hit ‘Misery Loves Company, including a stripped-back version.

Letters Sent Home was formed in 2017 in Wolfsburg, based on the close bonds of friendship of Emily, Lara and Robin, quickly finding a fourth member in drummer Louis. The band began their journey fully in 2020 with their first single ‘Mosaic Mirror’ – and the process that the band have lived through can be described as a rollercoaster, full of highs and lows.

Driven by courageous ambition, Letters Sent Home came closer to their goals with their first, self-titled EP in late 2020, which served as the foundation for an incredibly successful 2021.

The group’s second EP, Misery Loves Company, offered a greater expansion of sound, but also two top-class guest features, underlining the band’s increasing heft. Besides Being As An Ocean‘s Joel Quartuccio, Letters Sent Home also teamed up with Halflives singer Linda Battilani. Both post-hardcore-infused alternative rock songs, they sit alongside the band’s synth-laden dark-pop influences, showcasing a fine modern pop-rock sound.

The Misery Loves Company EP led to national attention across key alternative media outlets and an ever-growing fanbase, as well as Hassle Records, their new label home for the third EP Fire In Me. A stunning listen, it’s a fine demonstration of Letters Sent Home‘s non-conforming rock sound and its strong lyrical identity. 

Thematically the band touch on the topic of mental health, and vocalist Emily’s personal experiences. The band raise awareness on these themes not just through their music but with initiatives such as their Helpless But Hopeful Festivals and accompanying podcast. 

Having now signed with established London-based independent label Hassle Records, Letters Sent Home look set to establish themselves as one of the most promising acts to watch out for over the coming year – new EP Fire In Me coming December 2022, with the quartet already working on crafting their debut album. 

Letters Sent Home are:

Emily Paschke (Vocals)

Robin Werner (Guitar, Keys)

Louis Schramm (Drums)

Lara Ripke (Bass, Backing Vocals)
