'Newcomers VALERIE hail from Arendal in Norway and this is the band's new self-titled album which they have released independently, the sound on this record is pure no frills melodic hard rock with pounding drums, crispy guitars, up-tempo catchy melodic rockers built for the stadiums. If you like bands from Bon Jovi, Firehouse, Dokken and Y&T to The Poodles and Wig Wam then you will enjoy this record. It's an album that grabs you from the first play, Valerie deliver a strong album that holds up all the way through with very little to find fault with, a good quality release from a new energetic young band'.
