Here at Vertical Merch, we like to take any opportunity to support and promote the bands that we print for. This week that band is Vega Under Fire. VUF is an Indie Dance Rock group based out of Naples, Florida. With the five members all coming together from previous bands with contrasting styles and backgrounds, Vega brings a new but familiar sound to the stage. Their music is full of energy, powerhouse choruses and intricate breakdowns as they constantly strive to create something new and never merely blend in with the current flavor of the week. They’re one of those bands that while you may love their albums, you’ll love their live performance even more. They never fail to bring their fans an awesome, sweaty night of music.

Vega is in the running to be the local band performing at the 97x Next Big Thing on December 6 at the Ford Amphitheater in Tampa. They would be performing with bands like Panic! At the Disco, Rise Against, Matisyahu and The Used. You can vote for them up until noon today which gives you just under 2 hours to throw them some support and score another great band to see at the show.
