With a solid fanbase of 25k monthly listeners on Spotify Principe Valiente have share their second single lifted form their new album "Barricades". Titled "I Am You" it's a charging post-punk track with hazy shoegaze draped over it.
The pure excitement when I first heard "I Am You" made me want to listen to their latest album in full, and I'm not going to lie here but I found it to be one of the biggest 'hidden gems' of albums this year.
In terms of the guitar tones there are big reminders that the band are actually a bit of a big deal, with a tour around Germany confirmed for September with dates also in Czech Republic and Denmark.
