Letting Go, the debut album from Los Angeles alternative metal band Earshot, came out on May 7, 2002, on Warner Bros., with David Kahne producing. Singer Wil Martin fronted the band, flanked by guitarists Mike Callahan and Scott Kohler.
It's a record of big, grinding riffs and wounded, soaring choruses, with Martin toggling between a brooding murmur and a full-throated roar. "Get Away" and "Not Afraid" were the singles, each with its own video, and "Get Away" was the one that stuck, reaching #4 on the U.S. Active Rock chart and hanging around the top 100 there for more than 64 weeks. The album itself climbed to #82 on the Billboard 200, and the band followed it with Two.
