Many younger bands wait around for opportunities but before they graduated in May of 2005, they set out on several short tours during the summer of 2003 and 2004 to prove themselves. After graduating the band’s been hitting the road and taking any opportunity they can to play last year, playing 120 shows across the US. After graduation, Twelve Gauge Valentine began to tour consistently. Shock Value is produced by Fred Archambault (The Avenge sevenfold records, Eighteen Visions Obsessions).
