Vallory Falls Release Double A Side Single Ahead Of US “Summer Camp Tour”

Vermont’s Vallory Falls are back with two new tracks that are now available via streaming platforms, the double a side single features As Above, So Below and the title track from their upcoming album, To Save You. The release continues the spooky imagery of the band’s previous single, Want Me Dead, with mentions of graveyards and Salem. With a combined runtime of just over six minutes, both tracks might be candid, no-frills punk bangers but the songs diverge in their tone. While As Above, So Below tells a charming tale of love that feels like home, To Save You cautions against people-pleasing. Vallory Falls will kick off the Summer Camp Tour with To Save You’s release show on June 29th in their hometown Burlington, VT.

“I had seen the phrase ‘As Above, So Below’ a few times and it caught my eye. The idea resonated with me; a sort of dichotomy between life and death, give and take, and harmony that brought on a strong feeling of ‘carpe diem.’ That’s what I wanted to get across in the song: loving like it’s your last day, feeling no worries, taking advantage of what you have while you have it and not feeling afraid. If there is something like an afterlife or some other dimension, you should always strive to be the fullest version of yourself possible. ‘To Save You’ has a lot to do with spreading yourself too thin, and becoming so complacent with being used but recognizing it’s just a moment in time. [At the time I wrote the song,] I was working a job I completely hated. I was staying up until 2 AM every night trying to resolve other people’s problems for them and receiving nothing in return, saving face at bars in Salem. But then there’s the line in the chorus where the situation is accepted for what it is, where the crux of the album is realized: ‘I look inside and know / that everything is alright,'” (frontman Tristan Gilliss)
