When the name BENTVALVE is passed upon the lips, an energetic but nostalgic feeling enters the mind. A firm staple in the Las Vegas music scene, their previous sound had them firmly etched into the hard-core era. After a six-year run of live shows opening up for national acts, such as the likes of Nonpoint, Taproot, and Static X. Yet, something seemed unfinished. This couldn’t be the end…

Now, in 2002 with three original members and two new editions to the lineup, BENTVALVE is back on the fast track. The new material possesses the intensity and originality of the old sound, but it displays a maturity of song writing almost unheard of in the scene. Only a diverse grouping of musicians could put out this much talent, passion and energy. Talents that consist of Jonathan Ellis on lead vocals, Jason Davis on lead guitar and vocals, Devin Harris on drums, Derek Maybee on rhythm guitar, and Skot Peters on bass and vocals. Currently under the wing of a well-known local producer, BENTVALVE has taken on a new essence of life. Growing into one of the most respected groups on the scene, earning both a dedicated following of fans and critics alike. Their first released single “Reasons” immediately received radio air-play on Vegas’s most popular rock stations, KOMP 92.3 and XTREME 107.5. Already overflowing in a stream of success in many different markets from opening for! national acts, consistent record sales, and commercial radio play to soundtracks, the future is endless. BENTVALVE is poised to conquer the industry with their rock motifs of melodic lyrics, stuttering guitar rifts, personal anthems to life, and an explosive once in a lifetime live show. Through turning heads with their recent shows and gaining regional recognition in the southwest from their self-titled debut hitting the streets, BENTVALVE’s emotional and powerful delivery is making more than just fans. They are making believers.
