MP3 Band Of The Week - Valeze

Friday January 5, 2007

OK, I realize I have been lax at posting an "MP3 Band of the Week" every week as of late, so I guess I am faced with two options. I can either let the feature quietly slide into obscurity, or I can bring it back with a great song from a really great band.

Guess which one I chose?

This is Valeze, a sweet sounding group from Brooklyn that mixes new wave with dirty rock and roll. Picture Missing Persons, Blondie and Berlin mixed up in a plastic bag with a few handfuls of road gravel and you're on the right track. It's music that would be equally suited for dancing at clubs or cranked in your car, so make sure you take a listen.

Their latest ep, Go Go Go! is available here, but in order to entice you just a bit, they're letting you download the first single, also titled "Go Go Go!" for free. It's got a driving beat and some great hooks and it currently occupies a high rotation on my iPod. I suggest you download it right now.

Check out this track from Valeze:

    Go Go Go! (MP3)

If you're looking for more info on Valeze, you can check out their Web site or Myspace page. Between the two, you'll find news, tour schedules and videos for these guys.

What do you think of this week's MP3s? Let us hear about it!

Or do you want to suggest a favorite band for MP3 of the week? Send me an email! I'd love to hear your ideas.
