Values Here put the punk back in pop with new single + video ‘Do You Know Why?’

Values Here put the punk back in pop with new single + video ‘Do You Know Why?’
Salad Days

New album ‘Take Your Time, I’ll Be Waiting’ out September 22nd on End Hits Records.

Earlier this month, the world was introduced to Values Here, the new band led by Barcelona-based vocalist Chui and legendary guitarist John Porcelly (Youth Of Today, Shelter, Judge), with the punchy single ‘Will Be Tomorrow’. The band shares ‘Do You Know Why?’ a track driven by jangly guitars and a bright disposition. The high-energy punk meets floaty pop style sounds like it should have been on the soundtrack of 90’s films like ‘Clueless’ or ‘Empire Records’, perfect to accompany an empowering moment. The video for ‘Do You Know Why?’ finds the band spending a gorgeous day getting in touch with nature. Both singles appear on ‘Take Your Time, I’ll Be Waiting’, the debut album from Values Here set for release September 22nd on End Hits Records. On writing ‘Do You Know Why?’ Chui states:

“I’ve been playing in punk and hardcore bands since I was 15, and I tried everything to be successful with it. I worked my ass off but it just didn’t get anywhere. In the end I felt so exhausted that I thought about giving up, I kept singing different styles of music but didn’t play in a band for a few years and I really missed that a lot, I love singing and dancing to pop music too, but it wasn’t the same. In that moment when I wasn’t looking for nothing this opportunity for Values Here came up. It was like a gift from the universe. This made me realize that sometimes we want to force things to happen, to control everything in our lives but life doesn’t always work that way. Like the lyrics say, -Destiny has its own rules, and flow and you’ll find-”
