VUKOVI (from North Ayrshire, Scotland) are a dynamic two-piece alt-rock outfit fronted by vocalist
Janine Shilstone and guitarist Hamish Reilly. Their sound combines blistering riffs and melodic vocals
with elements of heavy-rock, noise-pop, and nu-metal, suitable for fans of Bring Me The Horizon,
PVRIS, Don Broco and Royal Blood.

Following the critical success of their 2017 debut (‘VUKOVI’) and the electrifying follow-up ‘Fall Better’
(2020), VUKOVI truly ascended to stratospheric new heights with their third album, ‘NULA’ (2022).
While ‘La Di Da’, drawn from their debut, remains a perennial fan favourite, tracks such as ‘Lasso’,
‘Hades’ and the anthemic ‘I Exist’ continue to command chaos from fans in live settings across the
globe.

VUKOVI released their latest album ‘MY GOD HAS GOT A GUN’ via Sharptone Records in 2025,
recorded and co-produced by legendary Machine at The Machine Shop Studio in Texas. The album
garnered praise from BBC Radio 1, Kerrang, Rock Sound and Metal Hammer for its cathartic yet
exorcistic expression of themes surrounding mental health, religion and female empowerment. The
album channels raw emotions through a refined, ferocious delivery, taking influence from titans such
as Rage Against The Machine and Deftones.

Having toured with the likes of Babymetal, Enter Shikari, PVRIS, Nothing More and One Ok Rock,
VUKOVI continue to build their audiences worldwide. The band have a reputation for their explosive
live performances, with Janine famously able to command a crowd with such intensity where pits
ignite at a single gesture. Their recent Main Stage performance at 2000 Trees Festival (UK) marked a
pivotal moment, firmly cementing their status as future headliners.

VUKOVI boast an enviable history of appearances at major international festivals including Welcome
To Rockville (USA), Sonic Temple (USA), Download Festival (UK), Graspop (BE), Resurrection (ES),
Rock For People (CZ), Jera On Air (NL), Reload (DE) any many more.
