SUUNS:

Over the past year Suuns have built a reputation for supremely intense live shows “full of thrash, immediacy, and spastic explosiveness†(Brooklyn Vegan), “with an unhinged intensity uncharacteristic of any band in their genre†(Death + Taxes) or more simply and direct “Drone Scholars†(New York Times) and the “#1 Best New Band of 2011″ (NME).

VALLEYS:

Over the past few years VALLEYS has had the pleasure to play with Fleet Foxes, Yeasayer, Castanets, MGMT, Woods, Future Islands, Why?, Vetiver, Real Estate, Suckers, Lower Dens and Dear Tick.

Words: .. .. "Valleys are an amazing revelation—a band that makes me imagine what it might have been like to see The Swans back in their heyday, if you replaced Michael Gira with a ethereal young female with a deceptive, awesome power." - SOUND PROOF MAGAZINE (live review - Halifax Pop X)

“… The live experience was truly exciting, though, because each song seemed to be unpredictable from moment to moment. In one five-minute song, the group could sound like Glenn Branca’s early-80s guitar experiments and the minimalist American composers of the 70s. There was never a single moment where one could suspect a mapped out structure – everything seemed sonically and emotionally real…more a suggestion of melody rather than the blatant expression of it. This worked staggeringly well for the band.†– SINGING LAMB (NXNE live review)

“Think hushed vocals, layer upon layer of acoustic guitar, with some droney fuzz in the background. Really nice stuff.†– BROOKLYN VEGAN
