Manchester based Valetta have recently shared their brand new track "My Life Is Better Than Your Life". The band are a new breed of acts who are set to take over the Manchester scene by storm with their sublime mix of indie-rock and psychedelia, perhaps influenced by the Humbug era of Arctic Monkeys.
The band however are looking to make a name for themselves with their relatable lyrics - such as this one which is about a tongue-in-cheek lament of image and validation in the age of social media - solid chord progression and a real drive behind their bold choruses.
Of the song, lead singer and songwriter Alex Orosa said: “We chose this tune for the live session because it’s probably the most fun to play, and it goes down very well at our shows. Musically it’s a fairly simple song, but I think it shows how we like to have an idea and by the end of the song have taken it to a completely new and unexpected place. The lyrics are quite cynical and mocking, but are meant to be tongue in cheek. It’s both a criticism of Instagram-induced vanity and the grumblings of a confused technophobe.”
