‘Only Human' is the fifth studio album by UK melodic rock stalwarts VEGA. The band self-produced the
record but teamed up with legendary Canadian musician and producer Harry Hess (of Harem Scarem)
for the mixing and mastering to bring their fans another gem of a release.
If you're very lucky, there may be occasions in your life when you find a band and you realise you’ve
discovered something a bit special. We've all heard groups who release 'great' albums, but VEGA
certainly make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and provide butterflies in the stomach
excitement when all fans of modern melodic rock listen to their new records for the first time.

Last Man Standing was inspired by awesome nights out with friends. Nick says: “Many moons ago I use to spend every Friday and Saturday night at the Green Dragon in Stratford Upon Avon with a very tight knit group of friends. There was a Rock DJ there both nights and we would drink and dance all night. Sometimes one of us (you know who you are) would maybe take the excess to another level but we would always, always make sure we all got home home. Some of the best nights of my life were “down the Dragon”.” Enjoy the song guys……This ain’t a political statement, it’s just music!
"We wear our love of 80's rock music on our sleeves, but we also have injected our love of modern
rock music to it. We aren't trying to rehash anything: the sound we have achieved is 100% VEGA.
We didn't want to try and guess what people expect and get it wrong," says singer Nick Workman.
Following the release of their last album, 2016’s ‘Who We Are’, VEGA remained busy promoting it
until returning to the studio to record ‘Only Human’. They toured with Magnum and Dan Reed Network,
appeared at festivals such as Steelhouse, Planet Rock’s Winter’s End, Hard Rock Heaven AOR5,
Nordic Noise, Amplified and Rockingham, plus a headlining slot at the Melodic Rock Night in Padova
(Italy) and UK and European tours in their own right.
VEGA will perform at the Wildfire Festival in Scotland on 23rd June, then hit the road for a UK tour.
Confirmed dates are as follows :
23.06.18 WISTON, LANARKSHIRE Wildfire Festival
28.06.18 MANCHESTER Ruby Lounge
