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 thatâs built around the crowdfunding principle. The band collected all the necessary funds within weeks and started to work on their debut album.
In the meanwhile, the band kept on playing every possible show. They won a "Best Song" award at the Exposure Music Awards, which will allow them to play a few shows in London soon. Vienna recorded their first full length âOne Heart At A Timeâ 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 âOne Heart At A Timeâ 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 âOne Heart At A Timeâ they didnât 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. The music video for âResurrectionâ, the first single coming from their self-titled EP, gained immediate airplay on national television. Having tons of shows added to their giglist, the future keeps looking bright for this hard working band.
(2) Vienna was formed by veteran Austrian session keyboardist and producer (Frank Zappa, etc.) Peter Wolf as a vehicle for his wife, singer Ina Wolf. One album was released under the Vienna name, 1987's Guess What?

In November 2006, Vienna officially disbanded, as John Cotter's time and energy were redirected toward The Apathy Eulogy.
In Vienna's music you will definitely hear influences of Dashboard Confessional, Early November, Mineral, Ida, Minus the Bear, Bright Eyes, Owen, Elliott Smith. You might hear influences of Sunny Day Real Estate, American Football, John Mayer, Smashing Pumpkins, Chevelle, Incubus, the Beatles, Thursday, Bjork, The Velvet Underground.
John Cotter started playing guitar at the age of 16. His first attempt at singing/writing music was with Alissa Robison in 1997; They wrote a few songs together.

Matt Wood played bass for a band called Many Sparrows. They played a few gigs, never recorded. The band split up in 2002.
John and Matt met at Loch Raven High School Young Life through mutual friends. Matt asked John if he wanted to form a band and so they did. The name, Vienna, was chosen because Vienna is a city in Austria that many consider the birthplace of classical music.

Vienna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I film your footsteps, walking upstairs
We all applaud
Don't let us move on
All so sorry, you're life isn't fair
I filled you up with rocks and snow
So I can hold you tight and never let go
Under your coma
Heat the air
With lies from your mouth in the shape of despair
A sibling with, a knife in your back
Holding on to family, it's too much to ask
I filled you up with rocks and snow
So I can hold you tight and never let go
I filled you up with rocks and snow
So I can hold you tight and never let go
The lyrics to Vienna's song "Blood" convey a deep sense of pain and betrayal within a familial relationship. The opening lines, "All these scars, they look so clever, I film your footsteps, walking upstairs," suggest that the scars left by past conflicts or betrayals are still visible and impactful. The mention of filming footsteps implies a sense of surveillance or constant scrutiny, indicating a lack of trust or a desire to capture evidence of wrongdoing.
The lyrics continue with "We all applaud, Don't let us move on, All so sorry, your life isn't fair," which suggest a collective response to this situation, indicating that there may be a wider circle of people involved in this story. The singer expresses sympathy but also points out that life isn't fair. This could imply that there is a complex dynamic at play, with different perspectives and motivations among those involved.
The following lines, "I filled you up with rocks and snow, So I can hold you tight and never let go," reveal a contradictory desire: on one hand, wanting to hold the person tight, symbolizing dependency and a desire for connection, while on the other hand, filling them with "rocks and snow" suggests burdening them with emotional weight or pain. This implies that the relationship is both clingy and toxic, with the singer using control as a means to keep the other person close.
The second verse of the song, "Under your coma, Heat the air, With lies from your mouth in the shape of despair, A sibling with a knife in your back, Holding on to family, it's too much to ask," delves into deeper layers of betrayal and emotional manipulation. The mention of a coma metaphorically represents a state of emotional detachment or numbness. The lies and despair coming from the other person's mouth indicate a lack of transparency or honesty in the relationship.
The reference to a "sibling with a knife in your back" suggests that the betrayal comes from within the family, which adds an extra layer of complexity and pain. The final line, "Holding on to family, it's too much to ask," resonates with the struggle of maintaining familial bonds when trust is broken.
Overall, "Blood" explores themes of betrayal, control, and the complexity of relationships within a familial context. It depicts a toxic dynamic where the desire for connection clashes with the burden of emotional weight, leading to pain and mutual damage.

Wow, I was amazed.
First of all, I loved the series; Murder Rooms (The dark beginnings of Sherlock Holmes) with Ian Richardson.
I loved 'Sherlock' (except the last episode..;))
And now, now this.
No Kidding.
This is wonderful, fantastic, amazing.
GREAT.
I love it.
Please more seasons..please, please, please...

It all started so promisingly... Good charakters with interesting background stories, fascinating cases, wonderful settings...
And then in the second episode, it turned into the same old bland politically correct narrative of the dumb or sinister fashists gaining Power in Austria / Germany. đ„±
In Germany, you canât Switch on your television set or you wireless without being called to be extra tolerant and super welcoming to EVERYONE! Why is this message also incorporated in a crime story?
I sincerely hope, the third episode is better...
Es fing alles so vielversprechend an: ansprechende Charaktere mit interessantem Hintergrund, faszinierende KriminalfÀlle, super Drehorte...
Und dann ging es in der zweiten Episode schon wieder um die selbe, langweilige Geschichte mit den blöden / finsteren Faschisten, die in Ăsterreich/ Deutschland an Macht gewinnen.
Von allen Seiten wird uns doch eingeblĂ€ut, dass wir brav tolerant sein bzw. JEDEN willkommen heiĂen sollen. Warum auch hier?!?

My husband and I found this by mistake. Best mistake we ever made. Excellent series

@Helena Richard Not that you would recognize it. The establishing shots of the center with St. Stefan's cathedral are obviously CGI - they had to be to be historically accurate.
For exterior shots they usually go to some former Eastern Bloc country that still have rows of old, run-down architecture ( Maigret, Charite), even tho IMDB lists Vienna as the shooting location.
Interiors are prob a combination of existing architecture and sound stages.

Really enjoying the series so far, series 2 was very interesting and heartbreaking at the same time with Clara and the Doctor situation.
