Our Overview.
Four piece Scottish acclaimed experimental rockers Vukovi have come racing out of the blocks since getting together in September 2010 and now Vukovi are back with heir new album ‘Fall Better’. Although they’ve been keeping themselves busy since the release of their widely-praised self-titled debut album in 2017 with storming sets at 2000 Trees, The Pit stage at Reading and Leeds, Y Not Festival, Slam Dunk, TRNSMT and more, plus support tours that include PVRIS, Set It Off and ONE OK ROCK, Vukovi focused their energy throughout 2018 on writing and recording their second full length studio album - ‘Fall Better’. The new album is full of the Riotous and energetic rock jams the band are notorious for.
The band say about the album “This album is our therapy and we hope it’s gonna help a lot of people as well. I wanted to do a concept album, but actually pulling one off is another thing, so we sort of met in the middle for this album using the intro and interlude to stamp out a solid futuristic theme. Album three might be the one to take the leap and actually do a full concept.”
With a fun and quirky introduction, ‘Fall Better’ sets us up for a fast and crazy ride with a cheeky parody of a radio recording. After which You are greeted with a mixture of dirty bass and guitar riffs, strong and fierce vocals courtesy of lead vocalist Janine Shilstone, and powerful and upbeat tracks, reminiscent of a pop/punk/rock fusion, that at times echoes influences of Paramore, Evanescence and even Sia. ‘Violent Minds’ throws you in at the deep end, it’s a song that grips you tightly and pulls you in. ’Play With Me’ injects an electro-pop melody into a cool dancetrack I can easily see being popular in clubs. Whereas ‘ White Lies’ has a steadier tempo that builds into a softer paced number in comparison. The album is an exciting mix that we are more than sure fans and future fans will adore.
"Their songs are bundling balls of energy, swathed in assured songwriting and deep "production that belies their age – just six months together as a band. And, sure to aid them to no end, there’s so much melody filling up their tracks that they bulge like Augustus Gloop’s waistband." Chris Cope The Scotmans On the Radar
"They're a four piece kicking out some powerful riffs and some equally heart felt lyrics. They are a phenominal band live". Ally McCrae Radio 1 BBC
