Make way for a groove-laden musical force that will calibrate your heartbeat to dance mode. Vendetta Valentine delivers a punkish, electro rock sound capable of leaving fans shaking, punks thrashing, housewives dancing, and alterna-kids feeling hip for a second or two. Rockers rejoice - this is what you're been looking for.
With distinguished layers of sonic guitars and lush keyboards fronted by their gripping
retro-dance punk beats, in-your-face vocals and an ear for sophisticated pop poignancy, Vendetta Valentine is able to combine the smarts of The Pixies and the dance feel of Finger Eleven with the boldness of Modest Mouse.
Using Santa Ana, California as their home base, the group consists of:
Thomas Monroe (vocals, rhythm guitar),
Daniel Powell (guitar, bass, drum machine programming),
Anna Judd (keyboard, synthesizers).
The trio blends a variety of music, bringing in influences from hip-hop artists such
as Tribe Called Quest, Dr. Dre, and OutKast, while interweaving the psytrance, techno, and classical genres to bring their musical structures together. Their innovative combinations of styles makes Vendetta Valentine's sound a profound musical
statement that resonates into our day and age.
This trio's artistic endeavor doesn't stop with just music. Each member takes part in various other forms of multimedia arts. Monroe is a well-read art aficionado, and is also an author of the novel Neeva's Gift. Powell has his hands in video production and post, while Judd is a studio artist, drawing and painting. Vendetta Valentine's
work is a pristine mirror into each members extra-musical activities and hobbies, shedding light on an whole new layer of meaning behind the music.
Vendetta Valentine's freshman effort, There's Nothing Safe, is a quintessential product of their artistic efforts, crafting a tightly produced, hook-laden rock album appealing to indie, punk, and alternative fans alike. The album takes you to the edge and pushes you over into the dark sexy world of mutinous heroes and dance sensibilities.
Armed with accessible and driving material such as the B-52's style Let It Burn? the forceful Golden?and the retro-grooving Dissidents? it's no wonder that Vendetta Valentine has already scored airplay on KROQ Los Angeles and been asked to license their music on MTV.
