THE VALENTINES - Life Stinks:
by Steve DIY

I am mega impressed with this Italian Punk Rock album. Ig great solid Punk Rock N Roll is your thing then you´ll love this. There´s plenty of Ramones influence here but The Valentines are far from copyists as they´ve thrown in some great ideas of their own. Just listen to ´Life Stinks Of Human Beings´ for starters. The Male/female dual vocals work really well on that track. There´s other kick ass tracks on here like the opener ´I Really Die If You Want To´, ´Black Rubber Toy´ and ´The Push´. Production wise is top notch but they got Daniel Ray(The Ramones) to fly in to Italy to record this. He also plays guitar on ´Blue Job´. This is a gem of an album and despite this being an Italian band they sing in English. Look out for this female fronted Punk Rock band - You´ll love them. (The Accordi Records) 10/10
