Valley is hitting a stride on the Billboard Canada Airplay charts this week.

The Canadian pop-rock band’s “When You Know Someone” peaks at No. 6 on the Modern Rock chart dated June 28. The punchy single is off their 2024 LP, Water the Flowers, Pray for a Garden — and it's powered by an undeniably infectious, yet somber energy.

“When You Know Someone” was the first single off the record, and seemingly recounts the complicated feelings on the departure of previous band member and friend, Mickey Brandolino. “From strangers to friends to strangers again/I knew from the start this is how it would end,” sings frontman Rob Laska. The now-trio is comprised of Laska, bassist Alex Dimauro and drummer Karah James.
