Carving their name into the Berlin alternative rock scene, Vlad in Tears is a band with a story marked by rebirth and resilience. Formed by three talented brothers Kris, Lex and Dario, Vlad in Tears initially emerged from Italy to find their musical destiny in the landscapes of Germany.
Kris, the charismatic vocalist and pianist, leads the lineup, flanked by Lex, the virtuoso guitarist and Dario, the talented bassist. Their move to Germany in 2013 marked the genesis of Vlad in Tears, setting the stage for a musical adventure that’s seen them grow a global following.
Over the years, Vlad in Tears has evolved into a formidable force in the European musical landscape. The three brothers have channeled their creative synergy into over two hundred concerts, winning over audiences with their unique sound. Collaborations with renowned acts like The 69 Eyes have further confirmed their position as an exciting act in the alternative rock scene.
Last year, Vlad in Tears showcased their ability to reimagine music with their cover of “Running Up That Hill.” Now, as the Christmas season approaches, they unleash their interpretation of Wham’s classic “Last Christmas.”
Kicking of with the punchy strike of snare drum, the song launches straight into an alternative rock onslaught driven by gritty guitars and pounding percussion. Kris’ lofty vocal leads float above the chug of guitars, contrasted by the airy synth tones, as he spins the iconic lines we’re all so familiar with. It’s a charming Christmas song presented in the distinct Vlad in Tears rock sound.
Maintaining all the melodic and lyrical delight of the original, supercharged with a powerful performance and impactful production, Vlad in Tears serve up a new holiday anthem with a twist. With this release, Vlad in Tears captures the essence of the season with a dark and enchanting aesthetic, offering a fresh perspective on the well-known song.
