VALENCIA PREPARE FOR WARPED TOUR WITH WEEK OF HEADLINING DATES

New album We All Need A Reason To Believe to be released August 26 on
Columbia Records

Philadelphia, PA - Valencia return to the road with a week of headlining
warm-up dates before embarking on this summer's annual Vans Warped Tour,which kicks off June 20 in Southern California.

The band - frontman Shane Henderson, guitarists JD Perry and Brendan
Walter, bassist George Ciukurescu and drummer Max Soria - return to the
road with a renewed vigor, refreshing optimism, and their sophomore
release and major label debut for Columbia Records, We All Need A ReasonTo Believe, which is set to street August 26.

Produced by Ariel Rechtshaid [Plain White T's, We Are Scientists, Say
Anything], the new album charts the band's musical path from adolescence
to adulthood with spirited pop-punk hooks and heartfelt and inspired
lyrics. It's the type of upbeat and optimistic album Valencia needed to
make, and America needs to hear. "So much of the music out there now is
negative, it's all about someone complaining about their life," says
Henderson. "That's why we wrote this record. We wanted to write about
how you should be happy and you shouldn't let what happens in your life
upset you."
