VALYEAR
ABOUT
Emerging from Toronto, Ontario, VALYEAR has rapidly ascended as a hard-charging force in the alternative/metal landscape, channelling the raw energy of Skid Row, the rebellious spirit of Mötley Crüe, and the intense grit of Drowning Pool into a sound that is unmistakably their own. Founded in 2014 by the dynamic frontman Chad Valyear, the band solidified its identity with the 2017 self-titled EP—a powerful statement recorded with studio collaborators that ultimately paved the way for a permanent, tightly-knit lineup featuring Geoff Wilson on guitars, Joe Petralia on bass, and Mane Ribeiro on drums. Together, they deliver not just music, but an electrifying experience defined by moody intensity, razor-sharp precision, and an undeniable on-stage camaraderie that resonates deeply with fans. VALYEAR’s signature blend of groove-laden riffs and introspective, emotionally charged lyrics revives a long-missing swagger in modern rock—a bold, authentic presence that refuses to be ignored. With every performance, they reclaim the soul of hard-hitting rock ‘n’ roll, forging deep connections with audiences and leaving an indelible mark on every stage they command. More than just a band, VALYEAR represents a revival—proving that passion, power, and unity still have a dominant place in today’s musical world.
