Hunter Valentine | Bio

You’ve been blind-sided by a new crush. Your heart has jackhammered your appetite, attention and ability to speak your native tongue right out the window. You’re a weak-kneed, cold-sweatin’, sponge-tongued mess. Friends, family, teachers, classmates and co-workers are sick of hearing about you know who. Pop radio cheese is your new best friend. All those crap songs you once hated now make sense. Suddenly–without a trace of irony–you’re a Mariah Carey fan. Baby’s in love, teetering on the brink of the glorious emotional train wreck called love. Everyone else having left the room, sweet, note-perfect, hook-sharp music remains your only friend. Hunter Valentine understands. From heartbreakers to the heartbroken, singer/guitarist Kiyomi McCloskey, drummer Laura Petracca and bassist Adrienne Lloyd got your back—as well as your love-strapped heart.

From The Marvelettes pleading “Please Mr. Postman,” and Diana Ross & The Supremes sweetly melancholy “Baby, Where Did Our Love Go,” to Sleater-Kinney's exuberant call-and-response hit “I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone,” and Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke wailing about “This Modern Love,” the best pop songs remind us we can fall in and out of love again and again. It the cycle of love that keeps Hunter Valentine beating out their brand of love/loss-struck pop rock.
