Val Texas

**Val Texas** is a rising indie rock/DIY artist hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, known for their raw, confessional songwriting and bedroom-pop-meets-gritty-guitar sound. Emerging around 2019, Val crafts music that blends nostalgic early-2000s alt-rock vibes with modern lo-fi charm, often exploring themes of young adulthood, heartache, and self-reflection. Tracks like "Kilby Court" (named after Salt Lake City’s iconic DIY venue) and "Maryanne" showcase their knack for pairing catchy melodies with candid lyrics about messy relationships and personal growth. With a DIY ethos and a growing following on platforms like Bandcamp and TikTok, Val Texas remains a relatable voice for Gen Z listeners navigating life’s chaos. Their recent releases, including the fuzzy, energetic "Paper Cars" and the dreamy demo "CHERRYRUSHING," highlight their evolving sound and unfiltered creative spirit.
