More Info
In the mist-shrouded hills of Scotland, where legends whisper through ancient stones, there emerged a band as enigmatic as the land itself: VUKOVI. The band's core members—Janine Shilstone, with her hauntingly fierce vocals, and Hamish Reilly, the guitar wizard who weaves sonic spells-are figures of intrigue. They first crossed paths in a North Ayrshire rehearsal room, though some say their meeting was less by chance and more by design, orchestrated by forces unseen.
On January 24th, 2025, VUKOVI will unleash their latest creation, ‘MY GOD HAS GOT A GUN’, a provocative title that hints at the explosive content within. The album, produced by the legendary Machine at the fabled 'The Machine Shop' Recording Studio in Austin, is the result of several intense weeks spent in the heart of Texas, where the band channelled the heat, the dust, and the raw, untamed energy of the landscape into their music. The album's artwork, a haunting and vivid creation, was painted by Janine herself.
Their songs tell stories that are both intensely personal and universally relatable, exploring themes of mental health, love, and the human condition with a sharp edge. Yet, beneath the surface, there's always an undercurrent of something darker, a sense that the music is a portal to a world just beyond the veil of our reality. As VUKOVI continues to carve their path through the rock landscape, one thing is certain: they are a band unlike any other, a force of nature that refuses to be tamed or fully understood. They invite us to join them on their journey, to explore the uncharted territories of sound and emotion, but they do so on their terms. In the end, perhaps it's the mystery that makes VUKOVI so compelling—a reminder that in a world where everything seems knowable, there are still secrets worth keeping.
