Amidst the pool of washed up artists and nouveau popular bands comes Vega, a breath of fresh air, bringing a new energy and atmosphere to melodic rock. Through the combined efforts of these five Thunder Bay music scene veterans, Vega layers melodic guitars over a driving rhythm section, soaring above it all is a voice filled with passion and innocence. Vega mixes the ambient sounds of Circa Survive, the energetic melodies of Paramore with the bone crunching riffs of Killswitch Engage to create an epic soundscape all their own.
Forming in June 2008, Vega immediately wrote, recorded and pressed a 4-track disc which they sold out of after only a hand full of shows. With backgrounds in hardcore, metal and rock-a-billy, the members of Vega don't let certain labels or genres blur their visions.
"I think we have the ability to reach a broad audience because we blend so many genres together" says singer Jessica Hochins. "The music fits the lyrics well, so it allows us to write easily, yet from the heart."
The individuals who make up Vega are also very active in the Thunder Bay music scene. Drummer Jimmy Wiggins has been running his own promotion company (Wiggins Pro-Ductions) for several years, as well as the city's concert listing website (TBshows.com). Guitarist and core songwriter Shawn Hartviksen works at a local radio station (LU Radio 102.7fm) as the productions manager and programming assistant. Vega lets him express himself like none of these other outlets can.
"Writing this music has been an outlet for me to express a much softer side of myself," notes Shawn. "When I write for Vega, I find it important to capture a feeling. Through Vega, I have been able to express certain parts of my life musically, as well as progress as a songwriter: playing with layer, guitar interplay and textures. "
Coming from a wide range of past musical endeavors, members of Vega have not only recorded albums and toured with previous bands, but have also shared stages with such acts as Protest the Hero, As I Lay Dying, Finger Eleven, Ten Second Epic, Strung Out, Farewell to Freeway, Comeback Kid, Danko Jones, Robin Black and KMFDM among others.
2009 will see new music and much more from one of Ontario's best new melodic acts to watch for.

For those who haven't heard, we'll be in the studio these next few months to record a new album with the renowned reggae singer, Eyon Irie. After that it's summer shows and writing songs for the next Orbits album!
In the meantime, if you don't have our self-titled cd yet, you can still pick it up on CD Baby and Itunes.
LIMBOGOTT AND JAY GORDON
Limbogott - Spit or Swallow - Releasedate: few days
LIMBOGOTT are proud to inform the world that all of our fans - and those who will mutate into them - will definitely be able to get a new album, called Spit Or Swallow,FEW DAYS LATER in stores and on itunes as well.
We are extremely proud of the result and we can tell you - having a quiet conscience about it - that the whole, extended process of production was worth it. We are back in business again!
We all were supported by a lot of persons in different ways and we were also honoured to work with successful, well-known, creative people.
Jay Gordon came to the aid of the production - he is known for being singer in Orgy, but as a producer for Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit or Korn too.
He also did a feature in the song "Reside".
The album was mixed by Sylvia Massy Shivy (System Of A Down, Tool, Slayer) and John Fryer (Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, HIM, Cradle Of Filth) who were easy and nice to work with.
A highlight for us was definitely to cooperate with our friend Chris Pohl who took the microphone in his hands for the song "Haus der L¸ge" (German for "House Of A Lie") and made it to the hottest cover song ever (original by "Einst¸rzende Neubauten")!
Now we all have to wait till some days - which is coming closer every minute thankfully!
