Vlad in Tears covers “Running Up That Hill”

Berlin-Berlin alternative rock outfit Vlad In Tears is a four-piece band that formed when three brothers – vocalist and pianist Kris, guitartist Lex and bass player Dario – moved from sunny Italy to Germany in 2013. Dropping their guitars down to drop D and even drop C tunings, they explore dark sonic worlds that draw on 80s darkwave to modern rock.

Over the last decade they’ve been sharing their unique sonic vision with unrivalled determination, going from strength-to-strength as they build up their rapidly growing and loyal fanbase. Taking to the stage, they’ve played their music for live audiences at over two hundred concerts all over Europe as headliners and played with leading acts such as The 69 Eyes.

With six full-length records, twelve singles and a string of ghost tracks and special features released for their core fans, they now bring us the closing track from their latest album titled Porpora. The final track from the LP sees Vlad In Tears cover the newly hyper popular Kate Bush song “Running Up That Hill”, putting their own rock spin on the original.

Framing the 1985 classic in a completely new context, they take the beautiful writing of “Running Up That Hill” and inject their own charged sonic energy. Full of impassioned vocal work, pounding percussion and stunning atmospheric instrumentation, with their cover of “Running Up That Hill” Vlad In Tears showcase their talent as musicians and ability to re-imagine a song in their own epic style.
