Here’s another one of those releases where you have to doublecheck if it’s not some sort of reissue from a classic ’80s punk record. That’s how authentic Valley Gals sound. But “Snake Oil Salesman” most definitely is a new record. It’s the band’s follow-up to their 2019 debut “Real Rock”.
Valley Gals make no bullshit garage-punk that is dynamic and melodic and driven by the powerful voice of singer Miranda Wiley. A song like “Sugar, Yes Please” should come with a warning, it’s just so so addictive. “Snake Oil Salesman” is currently out on pretty red glitter baby tape through the band. Graveface Records will release it on vinyl later this year. RIYL: Amyl And The Sniffers, The Lunachicks.
The Valley Gals have been known to disappear at the drop of a ten gallon hat only to reappear when you most need them. Sometimes a two piece, sometimes a three, sometimes a dazzling four, whatever suit they’re wearing they’re sure to rock you raw. From north to south across the eastern coastline, the ethereal rockers are here to hit you with the essentials – no fluff, just pure grit.
They’re in love with the form, they’re in love with the stage, they’re in love with the road, they’re in love with each other. And surely you will fall in love with them.
