Letdown. with Harmless Habit, Number One Sons, and Luchiano

Ever since he first began releasing music in 2020, Letdown. (real name Blake Coddington) has poured his soul into crafting soaring rock anthems that vulnerably chronicle his mental health journey and sonically intersect with punk/emo, metal, electronic, pop, and hip-hop. If anything unites Letdown.’s debut album, it’s mixing audible joy with the darkness that haunts his past. “This latest group of songs is my upswing—I’m literally finding the fun and light in the bad things,” he says. “The music I’m writing currently has been a lot more fun than it ever has been, and a lot less depressing. It’s less self-loathing. This is what’s been handed to me—now I’m gonna have to make something awesome.”
