Vega 4 are...

• John McDaid - vocals, guitar
• Simon Walker - bass
• Bruce Gainsford - guitar
• Bryan McLellan - drums

Vega 4 may cover the Commonwealth (McDaid is Irish, Walker is English, Gainsford is from NZ and McLellan hails from Canada) but their aspirations and potential is nothing short of global.

Vega 4 combine influences as diverse as Radiohead, Led Zeppelin and Fugazi to deliver songs loaded with sentiment, intensity and, above all, melody. The band signed to Taste Media (the home of Muse) in September 2000. When the band ventured to New York they found themselves the subject of an enthusiastic industry buzz. A subsequent A&R tussle saw them sign with Capitol for North America on the top of the World Trade Centre.
