Valatie

Valatie is a post-hardcore band from Chicago, IL. Physical Copies of "Dragged Through the Garden" now available on Bandcamp. "A recent impressive debut" -Heavy Blog is Heavy "The dual vocals, the strangled and manic, lending credence to screamo predecessors blending with incredibly clean, soft, and ethereal vocals. You hear the bright, effervescent pop-sensibilities of (Hayley) Williams in the single 'Valerie.' But these clean vocals don’t just sit atop a bed of power chords and octaves, rather they sit aloft chugs and panic chords, screeching and dissonant. Tracks like Presage and Sentient Walls demonstrate the bands ability to slow down and write riffs that are spartan and intentional in the placement of notes. The influence of early 2000s post-hardcore remains constant throughout the record...The title-track Dragged Through the Garden seems to be the band at its finest, touching down, if only briefly, on so many of the aspects that made the six songs before it so powerful." - Gary Thistle, Not Just a Phase "The post-hardcore we love...another must-have album for sad hearts" - Eirini Tátsi, rocking.gr
