VEGA – Anarchy And Unity [Bonus Track Edition] (2022) *0dayrox Exclusive*

UK melodic rockers VEGA and Frontiers Music are releasing today a new version of the band’s latest album, re-titled ”Anarchy And Unity [Bonus Track Edition]”, including as bonus a freshly recorded cover of DEF LEPPARD’s classic “Animal”. Their version is awesome; VEGA really nailed the song’s vibe.
The new album, while not a departure from the band’s defined and classy sound, shows a band determined, mature, and ready for the next step in their career. It has a crisp sound and immaculate musicianship showcasing the great talents in the band. On the songwriting front, the band have returned with a more muscular sound, but no less full to the brim with melodies that will grab you from the first note to the last.
“Anarchy and Unity” sees two new faces in the band, Billy Taylor (ex-Inglorious) on guitars and Pete Newdeck (Nitrate, Midnite City) on drums
With this rejuvenated line-up VEGA has created their ‘magnificent seventh’, perhaps their best to date…

EDEN / KICK / VEGA / VINCE O'REGAN

EDEN – Oblivion (Nick Workman of Vega)

Formed in the mid-2000’s, EDEN UK was another vehicle for Nick Workman to showcase his formidable vocal pipes which ultimately ended with him joining the Martin brothers to form VEGA. After KICK disbanded, Workman and guitarist Vince O’Regan (BOB CATLEY) started to give shape to this new band, EDEN, and released their debut CD in 2006.
For this second effort “Oblivion“, the band asked renowned Steve Newman (Newman) for helping with production, and to do the mix the album. The result is a hard rockin’ collection of songs with an 80s / 90s feel and updated sound which reminds a lot of HOUSE OF LORDS, plus a bit of WHITESNAKE, HEARTLAND, and NEWMAN, all with a certain edge.

So Z-Records decided to reissue “Into The Within”, an album that certainly deserved more...

KICK (Nick Workman of Vega) – Consider This… [Remastered & Expanded +8]

British brothers Chris & Mike Jones operated under the name XL since the late 80s writing songs for other artists, then in 1998 hooked up with Nick Workman (future Vega vocalist) and created KICK. They were signed by Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) label Beast Records and their debut album “Consider This…” was released in Japan and later Europe in 1999. Kick did high profile tours with Europe, Thunder and Magnum.
“Consider This…” was a breath of fresh air for the melodic rock genre resurgence at the end of the Nineties, and exposed to the world the amazing vocals of Nick Workman.
This “Consider This… [Remastered & Expanded +8]” release was remastered by the Jones bros with the addition of 8 bonus tracks.
