History
Wolves
Reilly, Trotter and Lynch played together in a Scottish rock band called Wolves. As they were unsatisfied with their lead singer, he left the band. At around the same time, Shilstone was fired from another band. When Shilstone auditioned for Wolves in 2010, everyone instantly felt the chemistry at the first glance. Shilstone's arrival affected the sound of Wolves so much, they decided to change their name to Vukovi (which means "wolves" in Serbian).[2]
Vukovi
On 10 March 2017, Vukovi released their debut self-titled album.[3]
On 22 November 2018, the band released a statement announcing bassist Jason Trotter leaves the band as he wanted to move on.[4] The band also stated that the separation with Trotter was peaceful and "there is no bad vibes".[5] According to Trotter's Instagram page,[6] he is working as a barber in Glasgow. At around the same time, Irving also left the band for unspecified reasons.

Quote: Luckily, when Shilstone auditioned for Wolves in 2010, all four members felt an instant chemistry. Shilstone's input altered the overall sound so much so that they decided a name change, and a fresh start, were in order; their new name, Vukovi, comes from the Serbian word for wolves. Over the next five years the band worked hard at perfecting their live shows and building a solid fan base, all the while releasing the occasional single or EP, including the Sweet Swears EP in 2012. Amid various setbacks and live tours, Vukovi began working on their eponymous debut, which eventually saw release in 2017.
