About The Valley

There are two bands known as The Valley. 1. An Australian metalcore/post hardcore band. Throughout their three year existence, they released two EPs under Crusade Records; A Small Misunderstanding Leads To Disaster, and the darker, more metalcore release Burning At The Mistake. After moving to America in 2007, they re-recorded their first EP with their new line-up, and demoed for their unreleased debut album. They disbanded a few months later. 2. A sludge metal band from Seattle. Formed in Seattle in the year 2001. They played many small gigs before releasing their first full-length album in 2005. The band consists of Dan Beloit (vocals/guitar), Jim Laws (drums), and Taku Mineshita (bass). David Welker was the drummer until March 2004. Their music merges fuzzed-out guitars with sing along melodies. They are named after Eastern Washington's Lewis-Clark Valley, where Dan Beloit grew up.
