Rocking with VEGA Anarchy and Unity In These Pandemic Days
Interview by Ken Morton Vega from the UK has been busy in the midst of these pandemnic days. First releasing Grit Your Teeth at the very onset of the Covid-19 era when touring would not be possible, the lads in Vega decided to keep recording and creating, with the results being the amazing songs found within Anarchy and Unity. Now available worldwide via Frontiers Music Srl, Anarchy and Unity presents Vega in their finest hour, unveiling melodic rock tapestries to keep us all company as the Covid variants rage on. Highwire Daze recently interviewed lead vocalist Nick Workman to find out more about how Vega is rocking our world in these turbulant times! First of all, congratulations for having not one, but two albums out in the middle of a crazy pandemic. That’s awesome. 46
Right. Yeah, a bit cocky, isn’t it? But it wasn’t intended that way. So let’s talk about the new one first. Is there any overall story or concept behind that title, Anarchy and unity? Yeah, it’s kind of ironic, really, because lyrically, the album isn’t really COVID-related whatsoever. Because it was obviously written and compiled during COVID times, it just made sense. Originally, I had the idea of calling it Anarchy. Because literally not even because of COVID but because I had this idea of the Vega logo with the anarchy “A” at the end of it. Yeah, it was like a great idea. Literally the idea of recording the album there. But then obviously, COVID got worse and worse, really, didn’t it? But then there were certain things that sort of unified people together. And the album concept and the cover concept came together with the hand. Well, it was going to come together and we January/February 2022
