Brandtson
Brandtson was an American rock band from Cleveland, Ohio.
History
The band formed in 1996 and first recorded for a Stead Fast Records compilation entitled Radiowaves and Gibberish in 1997. Soon after the group signed with Deep Elm Records, appearing on their Emo Diaries series before issuing their debut LP, Letterbox, late in 1998. The group quickly issued two more releases, Fallen Star Collection and Trying to Figure Each Other Out ep, in successive years. Dial in Sounds followed in 2002, and the following year the group released a split EP with Camber and Seven Storey Mountain.
In 2004 the group signed with The Militia Group and began working with producer Ed Rose for their fifth full-length, Send Us a Signal, which arrived in 2004. Another full-length, Hello Control, was issued in 2006.
The members of Brandtson, minus Jared Jolley, reformed to the small garage rock project Swarm of Bats. In 2007 Adam Boose opened the audio mastering studio Cauliflower Audio to a positive reception. Vocalist Myk Porter and Guitarist Matt Traxler were originally in the band Six Feet Deep.

Letterbox
by: Brandtsonwoke up slow this morning to quiet walls and a sunlight flood.
this place it seems so empty
and everything except for this wait has left me.
try not to dwell on this time.
how long can it last?
hold your breath and close your eyes.
the pain will pass.
try to rise above the distance of all that you want
and soon you'll know the why.
why and for what.
for the sake of a love like no other.
for something we've never known.
for the hope of another chance at happiness.
we forsake.
i've watched the colors fade where windows cast their shape.
the same way i have changed in the light of these dark days.
i believe in happiness and in love that never fails
but the longer i wait here the more they just seem like a fairy tale.
i need you to save me.
you seem beyond a stones throw.
helpless hands tied.
i try but this garden's overgrown on the inside.
try to rise above the distance of all that i want and remember the why.
why and for what
