Artist bios
Scottish pop punk group Vukovi mix heavy rock riffs with melodic, catchy vocals to create a sound as intense as it is fun. Their debut album, Vukovi, was released in 2017, followed by Fall Better in 2020, and the sci-fi concept album Nula in 2022. My God Has Got a Gun, issued in 2025, showcased their evolving sound, including noise rock and metalcore elements.
Hamish Reilly (guitar), Jason Trotter (bass), and Martin Lynch (drums) were originally three-quarters of a band called Wolves, although their lead vocalist wasn't up to snuff, resulting in his departure from the group. Around the same time, Janine Shilstone (vocals/synth) had just been kicked out of a different band. Luckily, when Shilstone auditioned for Wolves in 2010, all four members felt an instant chemistry. Shilstone's input altered the overall sound so much so that they decided a name change and a fresh start were in order; their new name, Vukovi, comes from the Serbian word for wolves. Over the next five years, the band worked hard at perfecting their live shows and building a solid fan base, all the while releasing the occasional single or EP, including the Sweet Swears EP in 2012. Amid various setbacks and live tours, Vukovi began working on their eponymous debut, which was released in 2017 and included the fiery streaming hit "La Di Da." The assured Fall Better appeared in 2020 and added new elements like noise-rock and metalcore to the band's sonic oeuvre. Vukovi continued to evolve in 2022's ambitious Nula, a quirky sci-fi concept album that explored themes of trauma, lust, and violence. The group started a new album cycle in 2024, with the singles "Gungho" and "Misty Ecstasy" appearing on the full-length My God Has Got a Gun the following year. ~ Liam Martin
