Just The Crust 28/04/25: Vienna – Sleep Fighter II 💥

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP “Sleep Fighter II” by Vienna! 🙌

the Birmingham-based emo outfit have been taking the scene by storm recently, having a strong discography under their belt already and performing across England at various prestigious venues! 👊 we reviewed their previous single last year and couldn’t wait to hear this!

this new EP sounds fantastic, chock-full of luscious guitar riffs, energetic and powerful rhythm and fierce and commanding vocals from the lead singer, really showing their desire to make music for themselves. there’s a real 2000’s throwback mixed into the tunes, along with other inspirations that ensure Vienna are ones to watch on the upcoming scene! the tracks are energetic and exciting, yet at the same time intimate and well-crafted – it’s a fantastic listen and one to check out for any fans of emo / punk music! 🎶

you can find the EP on all streaming platforms, and you can purchase it on Bandcamp over at https://viennaband.bandcamp.com/album/sleep-fighter-ii – give it a spin! 🤝
