Yesterday Kids
The Valmonts are a four-piece, indie-pop band made up of brothers Darragh and Keith Whyte, alongside Cathal Sweeney and Tymek Kocurkiewicz. With influences ranging from INXS to Lauv and The 1975, The Valmonts succeed in standing out from the crowd by approaching pop music from an angle that is completely unconventional. The unusually candid and honest songwriting makes for a refreshing contrast against their infectious pop riffs and pulsating rhythms.
Bursting onto Dublin’s music scene earlier this year, the boys made their debut performance at Whelan’s Ones To Watch in January. It’s already clear that 2020 will be a landmark year for the band, as they will support London’s Alexis Kings on their Irish tour this year, while their debut single, ‘Yesterday Kids’, is set for release in April.
By curating a sound that is simultaneously new and nostalgic, The Valmonts are proving to be one of the most exciting new bands emerging from Dublin right now, with their refreshing take on pop shedding an entirely new light on the capital’s music scene.
