Valient Thorr (Chapel Hill, NC)
https://www.valientthorr.com/
Valient Thorr is a wild ass rocknroll band said to hail from inside of the planet Venus. Since crash landing on Earth in the year 2000 they’ve played well over 1500 shows all over the world. They’ve toured with visionaries from Motorhead and Joan Jett to contemporary heroes like Mastodon, Gogol Bordello, Fu Manchu and Clutch.
Since 2005 they did two full summer stints on the Warped Tour, and played huge festivals like Download in the UK, Sonisphere in Spain, Hellfest in France, Graspop in Belgium, and Roskilde in Denmark just to name a few. They put out six full length records and two seven inches in that time. And just so you don’t think we’re blowing smoke, look them up! This is only the cusp of the feats of greatness this hard working, sweat drenched band has accomplished. And that’s just SO FAR!! Take it from any of their legion of fans all over the world known as the Thorriors:
“My God they’re striking. All Hail Thorriors!” - Wayne Kramer, MC5.
