Band Members: Vaylence [va’l?ns] - 3 parts passion, a spark of creativity & determined focus by three fiercely talented women musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area.

The self-titled song,”Can you hear me?” which was written in memory of guitarist Karen Whitham’s sister’s tragic death, is a chilling and haunting conversation with someone who has passed. “ In your eyes”, a song about suspicion and infidelity, is an epic attestation of this band’s strength and power, showcasing their fearless songwriting abilities. The final song on the single, “ I wanna live forever” is an upbeat , feel-good anthem about living and “rediscovering questions we’ve all been fed.”

Can You Hear Me? produced by Jeffrey Wood (Penelope Houston, The Housemartins) and recorded at Fantasy Studios (Berkeley, California.) pushes the band’s undeniable sound further than it’s ever gone before. The band challenged themselves and each other to record songs that will be remembered and will put them on the map for the mainstream market.

To witness Vaylence perform live is to understand both their chemistry and the undeniable bond that the band unselfishly shares with it’s audience. Each have an insatiable thirst for creating new music together. Incorporating passion, diverse musical influences and a strong work ethic, their musical experimentation is innovative and daring but remains true and honest.
