Harking from the restless city of Christchurch, New Zealand, The Valves are an exciting new band who deliver a high octane rock sound. The band formed about two years ago, and were forged out of the fires of Wildside legends, Pumpkinhead and Slim. The band has been described as: “One of the most and interesting and passionate bands to explode on our shores. Not only do they know how to deliver a dynamic killer sound, they have the sensibility to expose a subtle and well crafted fragility.”
The Valves have just finished working on their debut album ‘Liberty Angel’, recorded at York St. Studios, N.Z, and mixed in Paramount Studios, L.A. The album, due for release through indie label Broken Records, was produced and mixed by The Feelers frontman, James Reid and rock music guru Malcolm Welsford.
The first video single for ‘One in Ten’ was completed under the talents of Richard Bell, Prodigy video fame, and a comprehensive tour to promote the album is in the pipeline. With a list of supports including Shihad, The Datsuns, The Feelers and The D4,The Valves have their sights set firmly on their future goals, as well as the drive and desire to take their sound to a global stage.
