Unlettered's Five Mile Point LP selected at Tom's Top Ten of 2025 on The Daily Vault. "The brainchild of Mike Knowlton, as Unlettered he creates droning post punk that’s dissonant, hypnotic, and noisy yet melodic in his own way."

Congratulations Silver Girl Records on this excellent review of this Double LP. "Silver Girl Records deserves immense credit for bringing this project to fruition." Unlettered was honored to be a very small part of this.
