Vallies pour emotionally-driven alt rock into intricate melodies

Members Jay Hankey (bass), Zian Papp (guitar), and Tim Kasjan (drums & vox) had previously featured in gold coast band MNVR and had plenty of time to find their instrumental synergy before finding Barty who was previously lending his deft vocals to northern rivers band Antimata.

After forming in august 2019 united by their passion for jarring music with instrumentals which are just as expressive as the lyrics and vocals, they got to work on their debut single which was released on Boxing Day.

Vallies are currently taking part in Rockstock Riot in Brisbane on March 14th which includes 38 bands over three stages. It’s the first annual event of its kind so keep an eye out for who’s in the lineup.
