Out now across all major streaming platforms here is ‘Wine’ from Irish hard rock band Vendetta Love.
Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Michael Richards at Dublin’s Trackmix Studios. The track came together during the same productive weekend that birthed fan-favourite ‘Traced Out’.
With lyrics by vocalist Shawn Mullen and music written collaboratively by bassist McEvoy, Mullen, guitarist Chris Craig, and drummer Darren Flynn, the song began with a riff by guitarist Neil McEvoy, that quickly became the bedrock for the track’s brooding, blues-soaked atmosphere.
Frontman Mullen admitted the song’s lyrical inspiration took a little longer to ferment: “I was totally stumped on what to say for ages… Just stressing out over the simplest of melodies and lines. Then one evening I played the rough demo to my fiancée and she just goes, ‘Wine… The riff sounds like wine. Do that.’ Two hours later the lyrics were done! So yeah, the song’s about wine… And nothing more… I swear.”
To celebrate the single’s release, Vendetta Love will be performing a headline show at Dublin’s legendary Whelan’s on Friday, 5th July. Earlier that day, Vendetta Love will also be playing a special in-store set at HMV on Henry Street, giving fans an up-close taste of ‘Wine’ and more.
