Valvehead’s bombastic brand of alt rock balances pop sensibilities with iconoclastic harmony, melodramatic dynamics, introspective lyrics, and bold production. Live performances are loud and chaotic, yet unmistakably tight. Firmly rooted in 90s alternative rock, the group has been compared to Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Built to Spill, and Abandoned Pools. Valvehead is the passion project of Canadian musician Cyrus R.O., and features Drew Young on guitar, Mike Lenz on bass, and Pierre Voisine on drums.
