The Argus: Download of the Week
The Argus: The Valentines

The Valentines

From: Brighton

Influences: The Beach Boys, Babyshambles, The Strokes, Supergrass, Denim, The Polyphonic Spree, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and The Charlatans

Profile: Forming around the idea of making fun, proper songs that sound like they’re sprinkled in sugar and glitter, complete with melodies to fall in love with, Brighton five-piece The Valentines got together in 2009. In their short two years the band has been picked up by Lazy Eye Management, were picked to support The Libertines on their August 2010 Kentish Forum comeback show, and have recently toured with Babyshambles. Their music has been played on BBC Radio 1 and 6Music, as well as XFM, which will be hosting a live session very soon. This week’s download is the title track from their debut EP, which is available to stream from their website.
