Evolve or die.
Since its founding in San Antonio, Texas in 2002, Stiff Valentine has done just that, growing from a bloody and confrontational one-man performance art concept to its current form: a four-piece industrial punk juggernaut that calls Vancouver, B.C. home.
Led by "Loud" Chris DeMarcus, SV tackles dance floors and mosh pits alike with heavy riffs, thumping beats, throat-tearing vocals and its not-so-secret weapon: a sense of humour.
Stiff Valentine's 2009 album, Industrial Metal Disco, weaves stories of rage, frustration and sadness at a 21st Century choking to death on its own boredom. The album builds on DeMarcus's work with several industrial rock groups and features the skilled electronic manipulation of Craig Huxtable (FLA, Noise Unit, Landscape Body Machine).
The band plans to wake up audiences across the continent in the coming year, with Canadian and U.S. tours in the works. Don't be surprised if you see them screaming through loudspeakers outside of a closed-down night club in Albuquerque, New Mexico, or banging trashcans in a snow castle near Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Whatever it takes.
