The best kept secret in music
Press
There’s a lot of great playing on this disc and the production is of the
finest quality...a talented band with some great music...Bowie fans will
love it. - The Musician's Exchange
Excellent...moody, often dark, marked by Bowie-esque male vox and
swirling guitars - The Music Paper
Wow...pretty cool...highly talented at what they do - East Coast Rocker
They flex some muscle in the midst of the introspectiveness, painting
dark soundscapes with lumbering rhythms and guitars given plenty of time
to distort and drone to their heart’s content. - Philadelphia City Paper
It’s definitely a paean to goth music but it’s got a definite rock edge
that keeps things moving along with an above-board energy. The songs’
moody hollows and misty corners are haunting, but not darkly so; there’s
too much movement to keep you lingering in them for very long.

Bio
The sound of THE SPIRIT VALENTINE swings wildly from a swirling maelstrom of distorted guitars, beautifully lush melodies, catchy riffs and hooks, and driving rhythms to more starkly subtle and atmospheric darker moods. At all times, the band manages to capture vivid, raw emotion through their masterfully crafted songs and deeply insightful, haunting lyrics. By blurring the lines between several genres and mixing punk, goth, hard rock and even a touch of pop, they have created a completely new and truly original sound. Imagine David Bowie meets The Sex Pistols and The Sisters Of Mercy, and you begin to get just a taste of the majesty that is THE SPIRIT VALENTINE. This band truly rocks, and they are ready to tour now. In August 2000, THE SPIRIT VALENTINE became the first American rock band ever to play mainland China, dazzling a crowd of 12,000 in Beijing at the largest concert of its kind in that countrys history!
