Valadares

This band really surprised me. I was browsing the website of a local record company here in Washington, and saw their EP for sale. It was marked at only $5, and I liked the name, so I listened to a few sample clips and took a chance on it. The opening track, Manifesto (Don't Tell), begins with an a Capella intro, then kicks into straight up rock. The vocalist sounds a lot like Tess Wiley (early Sixpence None the Richer, Velour 100), one of my favorite female singers. The main style is reminiscent of Paramore, but with a more raw, rough-around-the-edges feel to it. Unfortunately, I could only find one of their songs on YouTube. Here's "Manifesto (Don't Tell)":



The record label has this SoundCloud widget featuring short clips of each song on their EP:


And other than a mention of a new track on Spotify, which I can't get to play for some reason, I haven't seen any update from them since 2017. I hope that's not the last of them, they're a fantastic band in my opinion.
If you like what you hear in the samples and video, consider purchasing their EP here.
