With their debut album Philadelphia's Valencia are poised for big things. The pop-punk band has a gift for writing songs that are the musical equivalent of crack. One listen and you're addicted. Their songs are packed with nonstop hooks, crunchy guitars and memorable choruses that stay in your head for days.
