It could only get better if the flip side to the single was a Ramonesesque cover of the Shirelles classic‘ Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow’. Oh, look. It only bloody well does. It’s a damn fine double bill of melodic punk that lends itself to conjuring up memories of a time when there was a glam revival spearheaded by Hanoi Rocks.”- **Reservoir Droogs**_ _“Every bit the glam-pop infused blast of rock’n’roll that we are now coming to expect from Marc Valentine…a wonderful outpouring of bright jangling guitars, crunching rhythms, glorious melodies and sing-a-long chorus lines”- **Louder Than War Magazine**_ [⌊Marc Valentine⌉⌊Marc Valentine⌉[ **Marc Valentine has a bone to pick…** **Marc Valentine**, the charismatic British singer-songwriter-guitarist who last year released his debut solo album to critical acclaim, issues a new single, **“ Skeleton Key”**, through Little Steven’s **Wicked Cool Records** – available October 27 as a limited-edition 7” and a digital download. Produced by **Dave Draper (The Wildhearts, Ryan Hamilton, The Professionals)**, Skeleton Key is a 3-minute 20-second blast of upbeat/downbeat powerpop – a haunting tale of emotional pursuit, with spirited guitar lines and a chorus to die for. **Pre-save/Pre-order “Skeleton Key” here:** [https://orcd.co/skeletonkey](https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/6813?id=19808233.51149.1.65f6eea8865b6349dc9e995e22a474a0) Explains Marc: _“When the idea for Skeleton Key came to me, I was imagining the colours and dialogue of a suspenseful opening scene from a late ’60s Hammer horror film. It’s a song about discovering the darker side of someone and the futile attempt to escape the emotional powers that can unlock everything – though, as usual, there’s a dash of dark humour.”_ [⌊Marc Valentine⌉⌊Marc Valentine⌉[ The single is backed with a cover version of **The Shirelles’** **“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”** – a long-time favourite of Marc’s. Available as a download and a limited-edition coloured vinyl 7” with picture sleeve, Skeleton Key unlocks the door to Marc’s forthcoming album, ‘Basement Sparks’ (due in 2024) – and, we make no bones about it, is destined to embed itself in a good number of skulls this Halloween. Having honed his craft fronting cult pop-rockers Last Great Dreamers across four studio albums, Marc launched a solo career in 2022, his debut long-player Future Obscure picking up praise from an array of publications. **What they said about ‘Future Obscure’…** _“Melody that would slay daytime radio in a saner world… 9/10”_ _– **Vive Le Rock**_ _“Ace solo debut from the Last Great Dreamers frontman; a masterclass in melody and energy… 4/5” – **Mojo**_ _“Endlessly melodic… simultaneously touching and gloriously rambunctious” – **Classic Rock**_ _“A buoyant and joyous pop-infused blast of rock ’n’ roll” – **Louder Than War**_ “Skeleton Key” is available for streaming and purchase through digital platforms.
