Valkerie
Valkerie has been through a lot since the release of their debut EP...
In their second project, Myocardia, we meet the alternative rock three piece after accumulated break ups, heart conditions, and deaths. Frontwoman, Rachel Peters, explores these concepts within Myocardia, where she and guitarist, Dan Bacon, solidify the Valkerie sound - that can only to be described as tenderly thunderous. Drummer, Jordan VanSise shines through, marking Valkerie as a combined force to be reckoned with. The group takes lyrical and sonic inspiration from the likes of Paramore, The Cranberries, and Blondie. With two EP's under their belt, Prelude (2025) and Myocardia (2026), Valkerie's future signals a full West Coast tour in the summer of 2026, with more music in the works of these non-stop powerhouses.
