LOS ANGELES (myspace.com/valencia) - After a summer of firsts including a trip to Japan and shooting their first proper video for their song "The Space Between," I Surrender recording artists Valencia will be releasing their debut This Could Be A Possibility nationally! Their debut album will be available in all major record stores for the first time beginning on
September 19 as a result of a new distribution deal recently signed between the band's label, I Surrender Records and RED Distribution. The deal comes at the perfect time for Valencia who has just completed a summer that saw the band make some impressive accomplishments. As Truepunk attests, "If you think you could not find a new, interesting power pop punk disc this year, wait till you listen to This Could Be A Possibility...for 32 minutes you get the best, most catchy and fun disc of the year for sure." Valencia are spreading the word through live dates that are spread out nationally including dates with Quiet Drive, labelmates Permanent Me, Bamboozle Left, and a November/December tour with Spitalfield, Punchline, Over It and Boys LIke Girls (tour dates below) Voted as one of Alternative Press' "Bands to Watch in 2006," it's been a crazy ride for the kids in Valencia. Kicking off the summer by spending a few days in Los Angeles to shoot a video for their single "The Space Between," which was directed by Ron Najor (Angels & Airwaves) and should be hitting video shows shortly. Valencia then spent the rest of the summer on the road with the likes of Action/Action, The Matches, Bayside, Spitalfield, and the Warped Tour. The highlight of the band's summer was easily a quick trip to Japan that saw Valencia play their own packed showcase and play as a part of the huge Fuji Rock Festival alongside The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Red Hot
Chili Peppers among others. Valencia then returned to the United States where they faced raucous fans on the Warped Tour.
After a much-deserved break from the road, Valencia have returned to touring and are currently winding down their tour with Quiet Drive before starting up with labelmates Permanent Me and Sound the Alarm before jumping on with Punchline, Spitalfield, Over It and Boys Like Girls.
