Letdown.
Mar 21, 2023
Nashville-based Letdown. is Blake Coddington. He was raised in Dallas and his newest single "Crying In The Shower" is the title track from his seven-song debut EP which dropped on February 24th via Big Loud Rock.
Navigating through the experiences and inner turmoil that has come to inform his passionate songwriting, Coddington said, "That’s what ‘Crying In The Shower’ is for me. It's like, ‘Here's a list of terrible things, set to an incredibly upbeat, happy beat’ — which is almost a metaphor for me. I’m a happy-looking guy who is quite the opposite on the inside."
The powerful vocals and emotional lyrics over catchy, upbeat drums and guitars originally served as a cathartic way for the songwriter to express himself while working a dead-end job that he hated. But 2022 saw Letdown. being signed to Big Loud Rock and move beyond his beginnings as a viral, at-home musician. Letdown. started as a pandemic project for Coddington is in a very different place in 2023.
Having spent the last three years cultivating a fervent fanbase through a number of single releases and emerging as a striking live act — finally bringing his music into the physical lives of his online fans across several sold-out headline shows this past year. Letdown. has upcoming tour dates with Giovannie And The Hired Guns beginning April 25th in San Diego. Check out the upcoming Letdown. tour dates here.
