Full Review: Valencia – We All Need A Reason To Believe

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Usually a band or label over compensate for new and younger bands by putting too much spit shine on a major label debut, consequently, alienating some fans.

1 Liner: Valencia – We All Need A Reason To Believe

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

It seems kind of strange that Valencia ended up on a major label because although these new songs are catchy, they’re in a less obvious way than the band’s previous record was. There is a lot of heart and passion cramed into these 11 songs and this record will turn a few people’s world upside down.

First Impressions: Valencia

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

After receiving the Valencia’s new album in the mail I have a few first thoughts about it. The first thing is that this doesn’t sound like a major label release, which is not a bad thing but just interesting.

The thing is that the production is really raw. This is not the reason the album doesn’t sound like a major label release but the raw production does seem to help help the overall feel and give it charater.

This is definitely an album that you will need to listen a few times to fully enjoy. Full review will be coming soon

Daily Rec: 7/16

Although Valencia’s new song “Where Did You Go” may seem like a break up song at first glance I’d encourage you find out more as it gives the song a whole new meaning with such a positive message. The song’s chorus is unbelievably catchy as well as the verses are raw with emotion. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
