Hunter Valentine "Break This"

A Toronto trio with heart, Hunter Valentine is an indie punk band that happens to have all lesbian members. Their new video for the single "Break This" showcases the band playing at a roller derby bout — a fitting location for a song about a broken part of the body.

oh, awesome!

thanks Trish! You really can never have too much coverage on gay women in the music scene, and it's really hard for us who don't live in the US to know about gay bands. It's great to know that lesbian music is no longer just about acoustic guitars and flannel (which I still love anyway) and that we're rockin up there with the best of them!

Girls hot, music's not.

Girls hot, music's not. Well, let's say it's practically ok, but kinda lame.

And the name ... I just had to think at Bullet for my Valentine. Is this a new trend for bandnames ? Do you know more bands with "Valentine" in their names ?

jayjay's picture

lol

cool band but i dont think i could confuse them with BFMV.....

I completely agree. They may

I completely agree. They may be of the 'Indie' genre, but no where near Punk! L7, Bikini Kill, etc, were much closer to being called 'Indie Punk'! This just proves it, Tank Girl, in all her glory, is dead, and now music somewhere along the lines of rock/pop is called Punk.

I thought that as well, Bullet for my Valentine.

I got myself confused.

What derby team did they use (I'm assuming it's one of the teams in the league), or just a bunch of friends?

Sabrina Jalees

So I was showing this video to my friend and they pointed out that the woman with the headband who fights with the older lady may be Sabrina Jalees. It certainly looks like her. If you're not Canadian, you probably have no idea who she is. She's a comedian and is on a couple of different Much Music (Canada's MTV) shows such as Video On Trial.

I wonder if she plays on our team :o.

ooh yeah!

finally hv get a mention here, this video has been out for some time (at least I have seen it for the first time several weeks ago) and it is awesome, although I think that the story about the two girls could play a bigger part in the video.

i love their song "Jimmy Dean". Hope they'll become a bit more famous so that they can also tour other countries besides Canada and the US. But not too famous :)

I think this video has been out for a while.

When I first heard this band I though they had an annoying pop-rock Avril Lavigne like sound. "Jimmy Dean" and "Staten Island Dream" somehow made me entirely change my mind and now I adore them. That and the lead singer, Kiyomi, has something about her that is just ridiculously hot. Her voice is amazing.

Oh my! How they have grown up!

The first time I saw Hunter Valentine was 2005 playing at the Gladstone (Toronto, Ontario). My favourite song is Staten Island Dream I still get a tear in my eye when Kiyomi sings this song!

hhmm..

Maybe i'm old, but that is not punk... at all.  it's good for what it is, but punk is not that.

 

 high five on noticing Sabrina. she's awesome.

Nice! I think it's great you

Nice! I think it's great you guys picked up on the Hunter Valentine girls. I've been listening to them for months now. I really like Kiyomi, she's just badass.
