The Better Letters are an underground pop band from Brooklyn, NY. In late 2009 Joe Palumbo and Abraham Something teamed up to play some of Palumbo's songs. Shortly, they were joined by Ben Brunnemer (former sh-sh-sh-Shark Attack!!!) and Steve Goldberg (former Organized Sports).

The bands sound is a composite of funk, soul, garage, punk, disco, rockabilly, and R&B influences. Palumbo's vocals speak to those of Ocasek, Bryne, and Numan. Brunnemer's and Palumbo's beat-heavy guitar work weave in and out of Goldberg's high-gloss, yet economic drumming. Minimal synth sounds speckle songs about doing things, and transportation metaphors. The bass guitar steadies the march.

The Better Letters released an LP entitled Mixed Feelings (2011) after first releaseing a 7" (2010) through 4:3 records which are both available at www.thebetterletters.com and www.4-3records.com.
