Another plug...this time for my mate Nick Workman!

Frontiers Records has announced the signing of VEGA, a melodic rock band from the UK featuring former KICK vocalist Nick Workman and the successful and respected songwriting partnership of Tom and James Martin (HOUSE OF LORDS, Ted Poley of DANGER DANGER, KHYMERA, SUNSTORM to name but a few), together with drummer Dan Chantrey.

Vega are set to bring back the reputation of British melodic rock music with a strongly original sound approach that while obviously influenced by the genre’s greatest names (from BON JOVI to DEF LEPPARD and JOURNEY) adds a strong personal element that will definitely bring the band to the attention of a very wide audience.

The band’s debut album, Kiss Of Life, has been recorded under the direction of producer John Greatwood (engineer for Tom Lord-Alge of QUEEN fame), with the band selecting a total of 12 songs out of a total of 25 written for the purpose.

Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69) stepped up to the plate to put the final touches to the album, mastering it in his studio in Germany. The band has also recently finished the shooting of the first video for the album title track, which will be launched as first single in the fall.

Singer Nick Workman commented: “We are pleased and excited to be signed to Frontiers Records. We are very proud of this album and believe that it brings new vibe to the rock scene whilst maintaining the roots of all of the bands that have inspired us over the years!”

Frontiers plans to release the debut album, Kiss of Life, later this year with more details to follow later. Vega will be out on the road in the new year taking their music to the rock fans live on stage.
