OFFICIAL
PRESS RELEASE:
British
rock band VEGA will release their new album “Grit Your Teeth”
on Friday 12th June 2020 via Frontier Records. The album will be
available pre-order from March 20th from https://orcd.co/grityourteeth
and www.vegaofficial.co.uk.
The first single “Grit Your Teeth” will be released Friday
March 20th and will available digitally from Apple Music, Amazon
Music and Spotify.
Buckle
up and hold tight, VEGA are back with the album of their career.
“Grit Your Teeth” will take you to screaming highs and gritty
lows. It’ll keep you coming back for more.
Says
the band’s lead singer and frontman, Nick Workman, “Selfishly,
we’ve taken a few risks by recording an album, that, first and
foremost, we can be proud of. Don’t try and tag it with any
sub-genre of rock or metal, just enjoy it.”
“Nick’s
right, says VEGA’s keyboardist, James Martin. “We set out to
do something different on this album. We wanted to stand out from
the rest of the pack.”
“The
band agreed on making a more modern sounding and edgy
record," reflects VEGA’s drummer, Martin Hutchinson.
"I think we definitely achieved that.”
“I
think it’s our best album yet,” adds guitarist Mikey Kew.
If
the last album, “Only Human”, was a commentary of what was
going on our lives. The new album is very much a reflection of
those times and the outcomes. It’s a very positive album in its
overall message, but it also has a lot of dark moments. It was
very therapeutic for the band to write and record the album.
VEGA’s
love for love rock from the 80’s and early 90’s shines through
without rehashing it. Their inspiration comes from the 80’s and
90’s (they even have a Miami Vice drum roll), however, the album
also draws inspiration from other places, and dragged into 2020.
VEGA
wrote the album from January 2019 until they started recording in
August 2019. The album was recorded in an industrial unit in York
with the Graves Brothers who have previously produced Asking
Alexandria. That is more the “metal” side of the album and was
a perfect fit for VEGA as they wanted to blend melody and hooks
with power.
“Joe
and Sam Graves did a great job producing the album. They knew
exactly what the band were trying to achieve,” says Workman.
Tracking finished by September 2019. Mixing and mastering was
completed before Christmas.
Says
VEGA’s bass player, Tom Martin - “This is stadium rock for
2020.”
