I first heard of the band The Letter Black when their song "Hanging by a Thread" was played in one of the rock FM stations in the city. Biased with rock bands with girl fronts, I quickly researched about the group and I was surprised that they are actually a Christian band.

Formerly known as
Breaking the Silence,
The Letter Black actually started out as a praise team at their local church with
Sarah Anthony and her husband
Mark Anthony as a duo on vocals. Later when they were signed to Tooth and Nail Records (P.O.D., The OC Supertones, FM Static) they changed the name of the band to "
The Letter Black". During an interview with author Rebecca Cicione, the band explained that the name "
The Letter Black" actually came out of a joke. Their manager was joking around with the guy from [the band] Helmet. And he was like “
a band name doesn’t have to be some deep, meaningful thing.” And they were like “it could be the letter black!”.
