Indie Rock from Principe Valiente

Principe Valiente is a Stockholm-based alternative rock outfit led by the charismatic lead singer Fernando Honorato. Since 2007 and the release of their eponymous debut EP, the Swedish band have been going from strength-to-strength with each new move.

Multiple singles, various remixes of their songs and four full-length records later, they’ve built a reputation for their wildly original take on the indie rock style. Most recently, their 2022 album Barricades – and the band’s first release on USA-based imprint Metropolis Records – features ten original songs that serve to showcase a talented act at the top of their game.

With the second single from the album, they being us their latest release with the track “I Am You”, paired with remixes from Miami band Astari Nite and New Canyons-based Solemn Youth. In keeping with their most intimate offering to date found on the new album, “I Am You” stems from a place of melody rather than just guitar riffs.

Laying down their trademark dark tone, on “I Am You”, Principe Valiente spin an immersive and gripping rock sound full of deep rhythm and captivating vocal work. Themed on subjects such as fear, projection and a reflection of the human pursuit for answers, the single is paired with a music video from director Damón Zurawski which perfectly captures the energy of the sound via hazy and frantic live performance shots of the band.
