Marc Valentine

‘Basement Sparks’ album out now on Wicked Cool Records. From the East of England via London, Los Angeles and lunar orbit comes Marc Valentine, a power-pop-punk fuelled singer-songwriter forged in the fires of records that changed his life in a time before algorithms ruled the Earth – when TV only existed in the moment, radio was in colour, and you could hear the pictures in music mags. With a sound that Shindig! Magazine described as “cinematic glam”, and a sensibility that filters the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s through a sparkling 21st century prism, Marc is well versed, and impeccably chorused, in the art of classic song. So switch on your radio, crank up the saturation, and fall in love with guitar-gilded off-kilter pop music all over again. “Big hooks, ace vocals and the kind of style you can’t fake” – Vive Le Rock “Assured songwriting … popcore craftsmanship. We are in safe hands” – Classic Rock “A glorious explosion of melody infused rock ’n’ roll” – Louderthanwar “Instant catchability … Marc Valentine knows his way around a hook” – Shindig! Magazine “… exudes energy, exuberance and excitement” – Über Röck
