Buzz

“Vienna Vienna is unapologetically himself in his music, infusing vibrant energy into his relatable, anthemic lyrics.” - CONSEQUENCE

“Vienna Vienna’s sound is melody-forward, built on a foundation of shimmering reverb, electric guitar riffs full of personality, and juicy hooks lathered in witty playfulness, and ultimately, empowerment.” - ALT PRESS

Los Angeles, CA | December 10, 2025 - Rising Glimmer Rock artist Vienna Vienna returns today with “Buzz,” an indie rock gem bursting with attitude, grit, and his signature razor-sharp lyricism. The track arrives alongside the announcement of his new EP Entertain Me, set for release January 16 via PULSE Records and Pete Wentz’s DCD2 Records.

Powered by fuzzy guitars, punchy drums, and a cheeky tambourine, “Buzz” channels a restless, wry energy as Vienna Vienna leans into moments of existential static and overstimulated disconnection. The song spirals through vivid snapshots - “hold on wait a minute, put your back into it. I’ve seen a devil, I’ve seen a devil buzz. How much is $8 now? They’re killing people for $8 now” - capturing the pressure cooker of modern life with biting wit and emotional clarity. Across the track, he delivers lines soaked in anxiety, longing, and stark reflection.

“My favorite songs about modern life speak to its overwhelming nature in a way that allows it to feel as it is, completely disorienting. Phoebe Bridgers’ ‘I know the End’ is a perfect example of this. What I did with ‘Buzz’, either intentionally or unintentionally, was to lay out these dizzying burdens and then try to wrap them up in a neat little bow,” shares J.

Further adding, “We’re not really supposed to have so many insane and terrible things hit us all at the same time, it's created this ‘doomerism’ where it all feels pretty much hopeless. A lot of the response to that from a younger generation is to ‘party’. Ignore setting up a future because it all feels pointless - a future where it will be too hot to even go outside. ‘Buzz’ is that - it’s about life. I try to capture as much of that as I can and wrap it up with the sentiment, ‘all this social interaction, I’d kill for satisfaction.’ ‘Buzz’ is how you feel after a drink settles, the ringing in your ears after a concert. It's distortion, the hum of fluorescent lighting. Plain old unstoppable noise.”

“Buzz” follows the EP’s first two tracks, “Idle Hands” and “Company Hunting.” The latter, co-written with hitmaker Justin Tranter (Chappell Roan, Imagine Dragons, Julia Michaels, Justin Bieber), showcased Vienna Vienna’s ability to fuse introspection with massive hooks - a thread that continues to evolve through this newest offering. “Idle Hands,” which blends upbeat 80s pop elements with modern indie rock, further highlights his ability to turn chaos, humor, and anxiety into cathartic, dance-ready songwriting.

Developed in a period of personal clarity and artistic expansion, Entertain Me came into focus as he began interrogating the ways modern life demands distraction. “Entertain Me is a tour of the distractions in life and how they affect our happiness,” he says. “Whether it be drugs, the internet, or something more tangible, they all pull focus away from reality. What’s the best way to get back into your own skin? Dance. I just really wanted to dance again.”

With momentum steadily rising and a bold new chapter underway, 2026 is shaping up to be a major year for Vienna Vienna. Fans can expect more music, more shows, and a world that continues to grow wider, weirder, and more joyously unapologetic with every release. Stay tuned.
