A band that has always possessed an uncanny ability to soundtrack the emotions we struggle to put into words, Canadian alternative-pop trio Valley returns this week with a new single, “Someday.” Leaning into the heartfelt storytelling that has quietly become their signature, the track lingers on the uncertainty woven into everyday life, gently reminding listeners to embrace the chapters that remain unwritten and cherish the fleeting moments that often reveal their meaning only in hindsight. Rather than dazzling through spectacle, “Someday” settles softly, existing somewhere between nostalgia and hope, extending a hand into Valley’s world and inviting listeners to stay a little longer.

The band speaks with relatable candour about the song’s inspiration, sharing: “We tend to live like life has a ‘special occasion’ setting. We save the good bottle, the money, the cologne, the outfit we love, waiting for the right moment to justify it. But more often than not, that moment never comes, and the life we were saving them for quietly passes us by.

In the meantime, we fill the space with whatever’s easy. Wonderbread, quick hits, things that get us through the day but don’t really nourish us. Always like we’re holding out for a perfect experience.

There’s an irony in saving something meaningful for ‘later’ while starving yourself of it now.”

It’s a sentiment that quietly mirrors Valley’s songwriting as a whole. Rather than searching for life’s loudest milestones, the band has always found beauty tucked inside its smallest, most easily overlooked corners. And that’s exactly what fans have attached themselves to – it’s not about a carefully crafted, polished formula; it’s about being unapologetically imperfectly human and embracing the journey that follows.

Composed of Rob Laska (lead vocals, guitar), Alex Dimauro (bass), and Karah James (vocals, drums), Valley has become far more than a beloved voice within alternative pop. The trio has cultivated a reputation for translating everyday growing pains into songs that feel deeply personal yet universally familiar, earning multiple JUNO Award nominations along the way, including recognition for their previous release, “Vending Machine.” As they continue navigating the uncertainty, beauty, and quiet ache that accompany the winding road of existence, their signage with Capitol Records and Universal Music Canada feels less like a question of if they’ll become genre staples and more like when.

If “Someday” is any hint, Valley isn’t simply writing songs for today. They’re creating the ones listeners will find themselves returning to years from now, when those once-ordinary moments have finally become memories.
