Breaking into the music business as a young band is not the easiest thing to do and bands sending thousands of e-mails attaching their downloadable mp3’s is almost a waste of time because websites like ours get hundreds in any given week. But every once in awhile the cards fall into place and both band and a site like us get lucky. That is the case with the Norwegian band VALERIE, who hails from the small town named Arendal.

 

These young teens recently released their two track demo with a dream of stardom. The opening track “Taste The Bullet” shines with killer harmonies and shows real star quality. I love the vocals of BT Valerie, which have a smooth approach and just demand your attention. The song really gives off a great vibe that lies between hard rock and melodic styles. It kind of has the flare of Sweden’s H.E.A.T. throughout.

 

Track two “Love Is Like A Heart Attack” is another blockbuster and the sound production for a demo is simply amazing.  For a young band like VALERIE to show talent like a seasoned veteran group; from the soaring guitar work by BT Valerie (not to mention his vocals) to the uplifting midsection of bassist Augustus Clark and drummer Erlend Omdal and rhythm guitar Magnus Christiansen. These guys have the sound of staying power and these two tracks just blew me away. Both songs are killer and I can’t wait for more to come from them. 

 

VALERIE could be the future of ROCK! If you’re reading this BT, Augustus, Erlend and Magnus, don’t let anyone stop you guys because a bright future is ahead if you can hold everything in place. Labels, start looking at VALERIE before they are gobbled up!
