Modern Alt. Rock

HUNGER FLOWER is subdued, unsettling glam that poetically provokes as it gut-punches. Melancholic anthems embody multiplicity through dark rock rhythms, whimsical electronic undertones, self-indulgent guitars, and powerful vocals that hold back. HUNGER FLOWER is the rage and sorrow we've tamed to protect ourselves and now we set the beasts loose.

ViNa Nguyễn (she/they)

An award-winning writer and songwriter from the Vietnamese diaspora, ViNa was born and raised on Treaty 6 and 7 territories and began songwriting after finishing medical school, which led to their first singer-songwriter EP, From the Basement, in 2020.

Forever squishy when it comes to emotional, cathartic ballads graced with a touch of poetry.
