The Valentine Failures
'Lights Out In Suicide City'
posted 2008-10-28
When I first saw the pics on their MySpace page, I immediately thought that these guys couldn't be wrong, I mean c'mon, their bass player even wears a LORDS Of THE NEW CHURCH shirt in one of them! Good taste!
While the first song ("Suicide City") can make you think about AFI, the second one ("Born Into This") sounds more like D-GENERATION and if you mix these two bands you could get a close idea of how The VALENTINE FAILURES sound. I've never thought about Davey Havok and Jesse Malin jamming together but it works! No wonder why they call themselves "Dallas degenerates" in the biography.
This is raw, dark and punked-up and their various influences can make them reach glam punk fans as well as the new generation (emo?) But don't run away, how could you resist a song like "Dead To You"? I surely can't.
I can easily imagine that songs like "We All Die Young" or "Blackout My Heart" work really well live, now let's hope that The VALENTINE FAILURES will be able to tour on the old Continent./Laurent.
