About
Longtime fellows of nineties rock'n'roll, THE VALIUM broke into the Italian IT-POP movement in the early 2000s by engaging in a British-inspired songwriting and soon moving onto the exploration of the three-minute 60s song paradigm the press labelled as the New Beat — an offbeat merger of power pop, garage punk and Italian 60s rock vibes. Sons to the city of Salerno, Italy, brothers Luigi and Marco Sabino have since been leading the band through its various lineups and have been rightly recognised as the true heroes of the Italian brit scene.
After three self-releases, their official debut was with Warner Chappell in 2010. The Valium gathered widespread recognition through songs like L'Infedele, Lucienne and Io Sono un Punk, aired on national radio and television and reviewed by the likes of Rolling Stone, Classic Rock, XL, Rockit and Rockol. By 2015, driven by the need to reach a wider audience, the band made the shift to English-language songwriting — and to a harder, univibe-driven sound — releasing their first full-English album Amazing Breakdowns on XXXV label.
Over more than two decades, The Valium have played over 600 live shows across Italy and Europe, toured four times, and collected a string of prestigious collaborations and music awards on the national and international scene.
In June 2026, The Valium returned with White Roses, a powerful new single that marks both a creative rebirth and a reconnection with the band's melodic roots. Blending their trademark British-inspired songwriting with a more mature and atmospheric approach, the track captures themes of loss, resilience and personal transformation. Released independently and quickly gaining momentum on streaming platforms, White Roses signals the beginning of a new chapter for the band, with further releases already in the works and a renewed commitment to bringing their music to audiences across Europe and beyond.
