VALERAS

**VALERAS** is a fiery indie rock trio hailing from Bournemouth, UK, known for their punchy riffs, unapologetic lyrics, and contagious energy. Formed in 2019 by sisters Sophie (vocals/guitar) and Connie Chatfield (bass) alongside childhood pal Robby Ellis (drums), the band blends grunge grit, punk attitude, and pop melodies into a sound that’s equal parts nostalgic and fresh. Tracks like *Let Me Go* and *Tell Me Now* showcase their knack for writing anthems about self-discovery and resilience, while their 2023 EP *Hear Me Out!* cemented their reputation as ones to watch in the UK’s buzzing guitar scene. With festival slots at The Great Escape and support tours under their belt, VALERAS keeps turning heads by balancing raw emotion with arena-sized hooks—and lyrics that aren’t afraid to say *exactly* what they mean.
