While rock journalists are still applauding debut album Kiss of Life as “the most exciting record to come from these shores (UK) in a long time”,VEGA are close to wrapping up production on their highly anticipated, as yet untitled, second album.

Unsatisfied with the confinements of the melodic rock genre, frontman Nick Workman, James (keys) & Tom Martin (guitars) and Dan Chantrey (drums) have their sights set on an all-encompassing rock crowd. “We’re grateful for the incredible response we had to Kiss of Life, we put a lot of love into that album, but this second album takes it to the next level and we can’t wait to deliver”says Nick.

The guys chose the 14 (of 25) songs for this album before they had even finished their 2011 touring of Kiss of Life . “It was a tough selection, but this album packs a massive punch, it’s important to us to make this album an essential element for any music collection.  We are confident every song will be a fist-clenching favourite with the rock fraternity”explains Dan.

Working again with the brilliant producer/engineer John Greatwood, this album is packed with hook-laden riffs and infectious melodies.  The band are lining up UK & European shows to give this album the platform it deserves, and having such a glorious reception to their live performances to date, they are eager to exceed expectations again.  Full album release information will be available soon.

As Malcolm Dome, Classic Rock, wrote in his review of the band:  “Vega are a British melodic hard rock band who stand apart from most in this vein, because not only do they write melodic songs, but they’ve a significant depth. Debut album Kiss Of Lifeshows enough talent and cohesion to suggest a big future awaits”…That big future blasts off in 2012, be sure to hold on tight.
