My Name Is Christine: Buzznet Bitch Extraordinaire

St Valentines Massacre



We're allowed to do shameless promotions, right? (ha-ha) One of the most popular metal bands in the state of Florida, St Valentines Massacre (there is no period at the end of St and there is no apostrophe in Valentines) hails from deep in the swampy regions of south Florida, a place where demons and angels both dwell in shrouded forms familiar to the human eye, forms which can be deceiving and conducive to trickery, comes a group of five young soldiers fighting for righteousness throughout the galaxy. This group of elite musical warriors goes by the name of St Valentines Massacre. All five members of this band of renegade aural angels hails from different backgrounds, all which directly influence their multicultural flavorful contributions to the musical force as a whole.

Compromised of Paul Starr (gutiars, vocals), Tony Rodriquez (screaming), Tyler Jordan (gutiar, backing vocals), Alan Olshefski (bass) and newest member Jeremy Suarez (drums) the band recently signed to Megaforce/MRI Labels. For those of you at home playing the 'why should I care?' game, Megaforce is responsible for releasing albums from such artists as Metallica's first two albums, Anthrax, Mushroomhead, Ministry, and more. In addition, through MRI they will be distributed through Sony/RED, and their full length debut album coming in Summer 2009 will be available online through Amazon, BestBuy, Fye, iTunes, Hot Topic, and in select retailers nationwide.

St Valentines Massacre (or SVM, as they are affectionally called) are a rag-tag group of renegades formed from the most bizarre musical auras on the planet, and combined into one massively powerful force. A force that will one day take over the world with their sheer sonic prowess, their powerful riffs, their heart pounding beats and their passionate words that seep into your soul and set it ablaze. St Valentines Massacre is not going anywhere, and its force of loyal followers is only growing by the hundreds every day. It is useless and futile to fight it; you must embrace your destiny. Like it or not, they are taking over.

The band is currently in the studio (also known as the back of Tony's house which has been converted into a studio) recording their debut album Awakening, due out June 9, 2009 and are currently finishing up the mixing and mastering! A record release show is planned for sometime in June, as well as a tour through the summer and fall to promote the album.

All the press-stuff aside, these boys are my best friends. They are the guys who will get drunk with you (or for you for us straight-edge kids), play a show that drenches them and the crowd in sweat, and invite you to Denny's after the show. It's been a pleasure, and an honor watching them grow, and I hope you find that they are as equally musically pleasing as they are personably pleasing.
Happy Listening!
