“So much of the music out there now is negative,” says Valencia frontman Henderson with a heavy sigh. “It’s all about someone complaining about their life. But that’s why we wrote this record. We wanted to write about how you should be happy and how you shouldn’t let what happens in your life upset you.”
To truly understand the gravity of that statement, you have to go back to early 2003, at which point the members of Valencia had just started playing out in the Philadelphia underground punk scene. Much like their musical heroes before them, the band’s career began with playing sweat-soaked shows in basements and vet’s halls, while trying to balance the regular routine of early morning college courses and afternoons spent at dead end jobs.
“In the beginning, there was just a lot going on,” remembers Walter. “There was a point where me, George and JD were all taking finals during the day, then we would go back and forth between the studio, then we would have to break away for a show. It was a lot of work and, at that point, we were doing it all ourselves.”
