A compelling visual journey that again reinforces the realness & grit that The Valium so effectively & stylishly encapsulate within their songs.
They’ve built an impressive & loyal following over the years thanks to great song writing, unforgettable live shows, and ever approachable attitudes.
The song has the distorted thickness of authentic blues rock & roll with the perfectly fitting level of emotion & passion that make the genre what it is.
The skill & satisfying crunch of any great folk rock track. The riffs have a simplicity that lets you fully access the sentiment & soul of the song.
The realness embedded within the lyrics adds to the genuine, indie feel of the whole thing. It’s music to believe in, to relate to, to turn up loud & enjoy.
I’m not afraid to voice my opinions on politics, religion or sex. I believe nationalism to be one of the biggest barriers to a peaceful planet.
There’s all but a feature length film to fill you with thoughts & self reflection. The energy is superb & maximises the strength of the song brilliantly.
Danny Baxley offers a fresh, creative take on music & artistic expression. To turn it up loud, enjoy & escape to; Ithaca has its own voice & energy.
James Keen’s vocals are always up there as a personal favourite. Ran For Cover showcases those unique & hypnotic characteristics in an almighty manner.
The grit & the realness is beautiful, the effect of the songs is multiplied due to these performances & this inherent, undeniable passion.
It makes you crave a live show – the instrumental flickers & the feeling expressed throughout would likely reach even higher plains in a real time setting.
