In The Valley Below

In the Valley Below is an indie rock band from Echo Park, California, formed in 2011. The band is led by Jeffrey Jacob Mendel and Angela Gail Mattson. The band’s first studio album, The Belt, was released in 2014, featuring the single “Peaches”, which peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in 2016. Solid touring in Europe and the US included festivals like Reading and Leeds, Austin City Limits, Rock En Seine and more. Appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan, and other international appearances all seemed to happen at once “like a dream”. However, this sudden success wasn’t sudden at all. They spent years in LA playing in bands looking for a break.
