CMU Approved
Approved: Vukovi
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 9 March 2017
Following a string of increasingly well-received singles and EPs, rock four-piece Vukovi release their debut album this Friday. Packed full of great songs, it combines euphoric hooks and riffs with darker lyrics, exploring relationships, depression, drug abuse and suicide.
Released as a single earlier this year, opener ‘La Di Da’ sets a high benchmark for the record and immediately gets across who the band are. “The song portrays an abusive relationship unbeknown to the victim”, says vocalist Janine Shilstone.
“There are a lot of emotions throughout the song. There’s vulnerability, and there’s resistance. It took time to come together, and it had to live on the back burner for a while. But one night I gave in to the niggling that kept demanding I go back to it”.
The whole album is streaming on the Kerrang website right now, and you can catch the band on tour in the UK starting this Friday in their hometown of Glasgow.
