Fortitude Valley

Fortitude Valley is an indie-rock band based in Durham and London, led by songwriter Laura Kovic, who is originally from Brisbane, Australia. The band was formed around late 2018 or early 2019 and includes members Greg on bass from Hull, and Daniel and Nathan from Durham on lead guitar and drums, respectively. Their music is a blend of melodic indie-rock, power pop, and punk, drawing inspiration from bands like The Beths, Weezer, and Belle & Sebastian.

The band has recently been active with releases like "Sunshine State," which reflects on Laura's move from Australia to the UK and explores themes of identity and change. Their music is available on platforms like Bandcamp and has been praised for its energetic and catchy sound.
