Hailing from Toronto, Ontario, VALYEAR has quickly carved out a place as a relentless force in the alternative/metal scene. Their sound fuses the raw edge of Skid Row, the rebellious swagger of Mötley Crüe, and the heavy grit of Drowning Pool, yet remains unmistakably their own.
Formed in 2014 by powerhouse vocalist Chad Valyear, the band truly came into focus with their 2017 self‑titled EP. Initially recorded with studio collaborators, that release set the foundation for the band’s definitive lineup: Geoff Wilson on guitar, Joe Petralia on bass, and Mane Ribeiro on drums.
I love the riffs, the sound, and the band's performance on the last single, Dirty. The song features vocals with some old Sebastian Bach vibes, creating a perfect blend of power, aggression, and melody, with a super catchy chorus. A very cool song, give it a go by clicking on the Spotify player below and follow VALYEAR on social media as well.
