Melodic punk rock outlet Gucci Chain Letter, a new band formed by longtime veterans of the Vancouver and Edmonton punk and hardcore scenes, have released their debut three-song EP, out now on all major streaming platforms.
While the band itself is newly formed, its members bring decades of experience from influential underground acts including Daggermouth, Youth Decay, This Is A Standoff, King Thief, Drive By Punch, Precursor, Counterfeit Jeans, and more. Drawing on that shared history, Gucci Chain Letter delivers songs that are both driving and melodic, rooted in punk and hardcore but never confined by the limits of a single genre.
Fans of Militarie Gun, Fiddlehead, and Small Brown Bike will find plenty to latch onto in the band’s sound—emotionally charged songwriting paired with punchy riffs, dynamic rhythms, and a sense of urgency that reflects the members’ deep roots in the scene.
The band’s debut EP was produced by Edmonton’s Cody Blakely alongside Juno-nominated producer Robbie Townsend (Royal Tusk, Midnight Peg, Garrett Dale), and mixed by vocalist Stuart McKillop at Rain City Mastering. Across its three tracks, the EP serves as a powerful introduction to a band focused on writing songs with heart while pushing beyond genre expectations.
With the EP now available, Gucci Chain Letter are currently planning shows in support of the release and look forward to hitting the road in the near future.
