I, Valiance lockdown new vocalist

After what seems like forever, Melbourne's I, Valiance have now revealed their new vocalist.

The band's new frontman, replacing Mark Poida (who is now in Aversions Crown), is none other than The Despot's Simon Kupier, who has performed with the band here and there throughout the year. The band also had Reese Peters from A Night In Texas perform with them for Soundwave 2015.

Read the brief statement and announcement video, which features part of a new song, from the band below, which sneakily came out just before their set at Invasion Fest in Melbourne today.

"After nearly a year of quiet auditions and searching, we have found the perfect addition to Davids army of tofu flailing pigeon warriors.

We are whole.

Please welcome Simon Kuiper to I, Valiance.

(cuzzn' oath it's deadly simmzy)
