Valencia


Valencia is an alternative punk rock band. The members of the band all came from different bands such as The Capgun Heroes, Attracted to Miss, and The Emphasis. In 2004 the band decided to create the group we know today called Valencia named after the city in Spain. They released their first album in 2005, This Could be a Possibility. Their album We All Need a Reason to Believe was released in 2008. Members of the band include Shane Henderson doing vocals, JD Perry on the guitar, Maxim Soria on the drums, George Ciukurescu on the bass guitar, and Brendan Walter on the guitar.
I’ve listened to their album We All Need a Reason to Believe and I approve! My favorite song on the album is Head in Hands. The chorus goes as follows

Head in hands I'm fine, and I've been fighting the words it just isn't worth my time.It's not a way to die. Suffocated by stress, my life is a mess, it's not right. Head in hands we climb. Separated by faith, it got in the way of life.Of all the ways to die, suffocated by stress, my life is a mess, it's not right.

It talks about how you need to calm down and not get suffocated by all the things happening in your life. Everyone should stop what they’re doing and relax every once in a while. If you’re so stressed that it feels like it’s suffocating you, that’s not how it’s supposed to be. It’s not supposed to be that hard.

All the songs on this album follow the same theme, finding a reason to believe, just like the album name says. They are all amazing songs. The singer has a good voice and the writer of the music and lyrics knows his stuff. They mesh well as a band.
