The momentum started to build over the spring/summer of 2010 after releasing Arrows. The band played tons of shows all over Belgium and shared stages with many international acts. When the dust from the summer run settled down, the band went straight into the studio to record a cover of Justin Bieber's Eenie Meenie, releasing it and solidifying their position as hot new act. The song got nationwide attention and was voted in TMF's "Dag Top 5" for 5 consecutive weeks, 2 weeks on number 1. Due to this success Vienna got noticed by SonicAngel, a record label that’s built around the crowdfunding principle. The band collected all the necessary funds within weeks and started to work on their debut album.

Vienna recorded their first full length ‘One Heart At A Time’ in Outhouse Studios in Reading with John Mitchell and Ben Humphreys. Both seasoned vets in the trade having worked with You Me At Six, Bullet For My Valentine and Enter Shikari, the band knew this was a good choice. The band released their first single of the album called "Lonely Shore" in september 2011, leading to more highlights: supporting Avril Lavigne in a sold out Vorst-Nationaal and airplay on national radio and television to name a few.
After the release ‘One Heart At A Time’ Vienna toured Belgium and the Netherlands to promote their album. They played Groezrock in April and toured the Netherlands for a second time in the fall of 2012. With their second single ‘One Heart At A Time’ they didn’t only reach the Belgian radio and television, but the single was also released in Italy gaining airplay on national radio and television.
In the meanwhile the band continued writing new stuff. This resulted in a 6-track self-titled EP, which has been released on March 22nd 2013.

Having tons of shows added to their giglist, the future keeps looking bright for this hard working band.

The opening lines, "Feverish, like the song, fever down my waist," symbolize the overwhelming sensations experienced when two people come together. The feverishness is not only physical but also emotional, as indicated by the line "When we kiss, you light the way."

The repetition of the phrase "Fall Inside" represents the surrender to these overpowering feelings. It suggests the moment when one allows oneself to be consumed by desire and vulnerability. The lyrics further express a desire for the other person to understand and empathize with their pain.
