| Valley
Arena Release |
Earshot reports: The Valley Arena's Take Comfort
In Strangers is in stores today on Astro-Magentics.
Fusing dissonant indie rock with pop smarts,
The Valley Arena's exhilarating noise at once brings to mind the stark,
angular stylings of bands such as Fugazi and early Q and Not Q and the
smart, slightly off-kilter pop side of art-punks such as The Fall, Talking
Heads and Wire.
The Valley Arena plan to tour throughout
the remainder of the spring and summer. A special, free CD release party
will take place May 7th at Cafe Bistro in Long Beach, CA. Watch for them
on the Vans Warped Tour from June 30th-July 2nd. [see full story for more]-
