Valkyrians at Jersey Java & Tea

Valkyrians is a Philly-based band that has
established a reputation of a band hard to categorize, but with a memorable
sound. Their foundation in the alt-rock category is tainted by Cris Valkyria’s
soft, but potent vocal work with melodic folk and world undertones, and the
incredibly counter-intuitive and octave-challenging harmonies provided by
Valkyria and multi-instrumentalist/co-songwriter Lou Paglione will render you
with a discombobulated, yet balanced and melodic impression.  Valkyrian’s solid,
but raw sound picture is vaguely reminiscent of the prime time of musical
history, but the mixology of classic roots coupled with the cross-genre
flirtations and melodic harmonies, will ultimately leave a novel and interesting
residue
