VALLEY OF THE SUN announce European tour this September with Dot Legacy | Volume Rock out now on Fuzzorama Records
“Valley of the Sun sound like one of those bands best
experienced in a dive bar with sweat dripping off the walls – a perfect setting
for the short, sharp shock of ‘The Hunt’, the QOTSA-esque jaunt of ‘Land of
Fools’, where Ryan Ferrier’s huge vocals sound like Steven Tyler experiencing
an exorcism.”
Metal Hammer
“There’s no question that Valley of the Sun are placing
themselves at the forefront of the new generation of American heavy rock.”
The Obelisk
“[Volume Rock] may go down as one of the best stoner rock
albums of the year because it understands how to go full-throttle joyously. The
album is the result of the band firing on all cylinders.”

Volume Rock... Of all the words in the English language that
could be drawn upon to illustrate the sheer sound and substance of Cincinnati’s Valley Of
The Sun, you’d be hard pressed to find two better. Picking up where last year’s
Electric Talons Of The Thunderhawk left off, Volume Rock – released last April
on Sweden’s
formidable Fuzzorama Records - showcased their drive and ambition to become one
of the best bands to emerge from the underground.
Formed in 2010, the band established themselves as a force
to be reckoned with thanks to an impressive succession of self-released EPs and
albums; the kind that never seem to go unnoticed/unheard for long. Often
compared to the likes of Corrosion of Conformity, Alice in Chains and Badmotorfinger-era
Soundgarden – the latter due in no small part to singer Ryan Ferrier’s
exemplary vocal range – listeners are treated to a sound that runs the gamut of
blues, hard rock, grunge and heavy metal, via big riffs, fuzzed out hooks and
deep bass grooves. It’s a concoction expertly packaged with a raw and unbridled
delivery whether heard from stage or speaker.
After supporting Fuzzorama label mates Truckfighters on
lengthy stints across Europe and America,
2016 continues to be a big year for Valley Of The Sun as they travel across Europe this September for a headline tour.
Valley Of The Sun:
Ryan Ferrier – Guitar/Vocals
Aaron Boyer – Drums
Adam Flaig – Guitar
