Rising out of the annals of Dundee and describing their sound as simply 'bleak', Vladimir burst onto the scene late 2013 and have quickly won themselves a reputation as one of Scotland's most exciting and acclaimed new acts.

Emotionally heavy and sonically dense, the four-piece have become masters at crafting tightly-wound layered fuzz and raw Dengler-era Interpol-esque rhythms, that sees them stand out from the legions of raw guitar band imitators currently breaking through the indie-rock scene.

Still at a tender age, Vladimir have effectively captured the complete disaffection and disregard that comes only with youth, while creating music that openly flirts with the darker nature that lies within us all.

The past year has seen the band hit the road as support to The Libertines, Slaves, The Twilight Sad, The Wytches, Pulled Apart By Horses, The View, Sleaford Mods, Peace and Catfish and The Bottlemen, as well as winning widespread support from the likes of NME, Clash Magazine, Q Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, The 405 and Artrocker.

“Addictive melodies that smack you in the face like a belligerent drunk at a funeral”

“A sepulchral atmosphere and a gravestone grey aura… Fiercely uncompromising”

“Vladimir hit the middle ground between Drenge and Interpol”

“Talented way beyond their years”
