Blasting a hard-hitting industrial sound with a metallic edge, they’ve got an addictive presence on stage and a pleasure jam to. Accompanied with some groovy guitar riffs and bass lines along side some incredibly catchy hooks by miss Valentine herself, they’re in your face, fueled with a ton of energy and hell of a lot of fun.

On August 31st, as part of an event hosted by radio station, 102.1 The Edge the legendary Horseshoe Tavern was the place to be. With no cover and a total of four bands playing, for rock n’ roll fans it was a night definitely worth checking out. As due to a very mixed lineup of acts encompassing a variety of different genres, there was certainly something for everyone… but for those looking for something a little heavier, Crooked Valentine stole the show. They played a number of tracks for the enjoying crowd including, “Dead Zone” and “Gates of Hell,” as well as perfectly fitting cover of Rage Against the Machine’s “Bulls of Parade.” For hungry fans during and afterwords, “Crooked” cupcakes were available for consumption for only a dollar or two a piece, but some recorded material or merch for sale would have been even better. The band is planning on releasing a new EP and new fans can eagerly await it dropping in the near future.

Continuing on the Toronto live circuit, the band is expected to play many more shows in the coming months including this Saturday, September 18th at the famous Silver Dollar. Playing along side The Archives and The Playground Hookers, it’s definitely shaping up to be a killer set. Whether you’re in the city or not, make it out to the Silver Dollar this Saturday night for a night you won’t forget. It’s gonna be a good one.
