VALENTINES DAY 2016 | JOSEPH VALO III

This is my video message to my soul mate, best friend and lover Sarah Afshar.  She got me this amazing Fender Guitar for Valentines Day. I could not be any happier. Sarah, if you are reading this, you complete me in every way possible and I'm blessed, thankful and lucky to have you in my life. The song played in the video is "Golpari" written and composed by Sarah Afshar and Joseph Valo III.

Question of the Day: What are some of your favorite songs?

Q: I know you are a genius when it comes to creating music and I have heard your work when you were Gods n Aliens. The Calling is one of my favorite songs. I also can't wait to hear your work with Unchained Echo. I wanted to ask you, what are some of your favorite songs?

Hello. How are you? Thanks for the question. I have way too many favorite songs. I am really diverse when it comes to music. I really love rock music more than anything. I am really into progressive industrial type of rock. My least favorite is country, but I can tolerate it.

Question of the Day: What is the name of your new band?

Q: I read on Facebook that you stared a new band with Sarah Afshar. I've heard Sarah sing and she sounds like Etta James and has a completely different sound to the lead singer of Gods and Aliens who sounds kind of like Josh Todd. My question for you Joe is, what is the name of your new band and what is the sound like? Is it similar to GnA?

Hi. The name of the band is Unchained Echo and as of right now, it's more of a dynamic duo, so it isn't a band, but I guess can be considered one since there is more than just one person. It is completely different. Unchained Echo is a combination of several different things. A little bit of rock, a little bit of soul, some industrial, some blues, some trance, and more. Gods and Aliens is more of a classic rock, coverage, bar friendly kind of band. Unchained Echo is nothing like you have heard. It's more innovative, more modern, and mixes several genres and uses more than just a guitar and a set of drums. We released a demo song called "Golpari" which was composed, written, performed, and produced by us and it gained attention by several of our fans from Iran during the Persian New Year, Norooz. We are hoping to re-record this tune in a studio soon along with our other originals. Unchained Echo is nothing that you have heard before. I think most people will love us, but there will be a few that will hate us which is good because it is better than being boring. We are working on some real cool stuff right now so stay tuned for that. Thanks for your question.
