Hunter Valentine @ NXNE 2007

in
By Evan Dickson (CHARTattack) June 8, 2007 1:00 pm
Background/Composition: The three-piece all-lady rockers added a guest player for NXNE, rhythm guitarist Hill Kourkoutis. At a time when so many bands are either punk wannabes or orchestras -- even (shudder) arkestras -- it's comforting to see the never-fail standard of lead, rhythm, bass and drums playing straight-ahead melodic rock....

Hunter Valentine — The Impatient Romantic

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) April 4, 2007 9:18 am
True North may have found its Rough Trade for the 21st century. This all-female Toronto trio, fronted by charismatic singer/guitarist Kiyomi McCloskey, ooze danger and sex appeal, and should reel in both gay and straight audiences. Lead single "Typical" is a jagged pop tune with a piercing hook, and this opening track sets the pace for...

That might sound nuts, but the ladies of Hunter Valentine are certifiably in-fuckin'-sane. On May 11, they accomplished a feat that not even the most ambitious rock star would even consider. They performed 13 different gigs...

in
By Valentina D'Aliesio (CHARTattack) April 22, 2010 2:47 pm
Lessons From The Late Night is the bold sophomore effort from Toronto-based Hunter Valentine. The garage-punk trio formed in 2004 and have come a long way in just a few years, delivering their most impressive album yet with this release. Lead singer Kiyomi McCloskey possesses a snarl fit to rival Brody Dalle's (Spinnerette, ex-Distillers), but...

Hunter Valentine — "The Stalker"

in
By CHARTattack Staff April 16, 2010 12:28 pm
Fact: Hunter Valentine's "The Stalker" is actually inspired by a freaky incident that happened to singer/guitarist Kiyomi McCloskey. The video for the track places the band in a badly lit, claustrophobic, horror movie-esque basement and was directed by Taylor Cohen (Matt & Kim). The tune appears on the upcoming Lessons From The...

By Stephanie Joudrey (CHARTattack) May 17, 2007 5:30 pm
After a few years of success, most bands are confident enough to continue on the same path of writing and recording. The three young women in Hunter Valentine are confident, but they also know that their music can always use freshening up. That's why they were on the I-90 freeway on their way to a music camp in Connecticut when they got the...

Paris Hilton, who was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol earlier this month, has now been charged with the crime. The heiress/singer/celebrity's blood-alcohol level of 0.08 per cent when she was arrested on Sept. 7 was enough to earn the charge after an investigation. A court hearing was scheduled for Thursday, though Hilton...
