Valentiine – Love Like

admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:04:37 +0000

I love a bit of dirty, scuzzy, fuzzed out rock, especially when delivered by three lovely ladies. Valentiine (for once, that is not a typo) are an Australian three piece who make have soaked up the 90s grunge that they grew up with and chucked in some modern garage to create something somehow angry yet upbeat. We’ve all been angsty and frustrated, but I have never articulated it so well. Valentiine are Vanessa (guitar/vocals), Erica (bass/vocals) and Shelly (drums/vocals), and they have earned their musical stripes in their home town of Melbourne – next up, the world. ‘Love Like’ is the first single taken from the eponymous debut album, out on Integrity Records.

Valentiine – Love Like

admin — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 11:15:20 +0000

Released 8th April on Integrity Records

The Guardian, Topshop, TNT magazine…smack of on the route to mainstream? Never mind, because Love Like by Aussie band Valentiine is a tune that deserves to be heard by the masses. A female three piece from Australia, this is scuzzy garage pop, brooding and deliberate with enough bite to rip the shreds from any romance in the name. Think The Breeders via sunshine, 90s grunge meets noughties garage, and f**ck of massive riffs.
Ladies, fancy playing London?
