Voted BEST NEW BAND 2008 by Isthmus Readers - Isthmus Annual Manual
"Without a doubt, this is the most creative guitar-centric rock act working in Madison today." - The Isthmus
"El Valiente lurk and charge through spaces as broad and bleak as the Grand Canyon. The group's guitar, glockenspiel, bass, and drums prove boldest when drifting off into a skeletal void between slowcore, spaghetti western, and free jazz." - The Onion A.V. Club
"Just when you think the local instrumentalists are all about limitless desert vistas and parched bones glowing in the moonlight, they let loose with an explosion of guitars that takes you back to the glory days of post-punk." -The Isthmus
"El Valiente 's free jazz and spaghetti western washes are mind-bending enough to be the soundtrack to the dreams of surreal director Alejandro Jodorowsky." - Madison.com
"What better way to close out the week’s ticket orgy than with El Valiente. I will admit that I had never heard or heard of El Valiente until this post, but holy hell I am impressed. If nobody takes these tickets I will break ranks and take them myself. El Valiente are a post-rock group (man I am full of hyphens) who’s free jazz influenced rock slays me. If you are a fan of Mogwai or The Album Leaf you are already familiar with El Valiente. If you’re not as I am or was, then you are doing yourself a disservice by not catching this show." - Dane101.com
"Instrumentals surging with bursts of noise and wondrously drifting melodies. For three guys with such a humble stage presence, the group crafts some bold--perhaps even valient?-- work, spicing up the basic rock-trio format with glockenspiel and unwieldy song structures on the recently released El Topo. For an idea that sounds so interesting on paper, El Valiente is also quite respectable live, staying clear and tight even at a cramped King Club show last month." - The Onion A.V. Club
