Hunter Valentine was founded in 2004, when best friends Kiyomi McKloskey and Laura Petracca came together in downtown Toronto, Canada. Since then, the band has released two albums, toured the U.S., Europe and Canada multiple times, garnered legions of fans, and developed a unique, hard driving sound. Their EP, "Lessons From The Late Night", was released through Tommy Boy in the U.S,. in 2010, and the band has been on the road ever since, playing over 220 shows, and establishing themselves as one of the most active all girl rock bands today.
With "Collide and Conquer, the girls have found a new musical direction, while still remaining true to their punk/pop roots. Produced by Greig Nori (Sum 41, Iggy Pop), Collide and Conquer will see its release on October 23, 2012.
