In the deserts of Tempe, AZ, where cacti run rampant and sand is everywhere underfoot, Let Go planned their emergence from the heat. Formed from the musical collision of members from The Stereo, Gloritone, and Pollen, Let Go drank from the same taps as Jimmy Eat World and The Format, but created a sound all their own. When Jamie Woolford felt the need to augment his demos with some added muscle from bassist Chris Serafini and drummer Scott Hessel , Let Go was born. "Let Go is the direct result of me pulling Jamie out of my “Obi-Wan-esque” hiatus from music to start a brand new band," explained Chris, poking a hole in Jamie's story. "After I formed a solid rhythmic bond with Scott, it was a no-brainer to have him jump in with us and create this trio." Since a majority of the songs had been floating around Jamie's studio in differing states of completion, the band spent a good deal of the time tracking. What they ended up with is an impressive collection of tight and powerful rock songs that deliver shark-sized hooks inside refreshing lyrical content. Let Go aims slightly askew of the typical love song and, instead of going head-on with something typical, finds the side route into a story. Chris jokes, "It's like a drug record without the drugs." Themes of love and disappointment surface, as well as ponderings about life's purpose. "Sometimes I wonder if the difference between truly living life and just coasting by is only a matter of point-of-view," Jamie comments.
