Scotland’s VUKOVI have just shared ‘HURT’, their brand-new single. They also recently announced that they will be embarking on a UK tour commencing October this year.

The track opens as a softer, synthy ballad before exploding into something much heavier and cutting. The lyrics are all about confronting someone abusive after a toxic relationship, and raw emotion comes through at every turn in the song. The band called it ‘venomous’ in their recent description:

'Hurt is about recovering from an abusive relationship and fantasizing about what you would do or say to that person if you ever saw them again.   The original demo of this was done on GarageBand with just piano strings bass drum and voice and is about a third of the speed.  When I sent it to Hamish that’s when it turned into this. An absolute abomination….. It’s a venomous song lyrically and musically and I think it’s probably the strongest song we’ve released SO FAR'
