Synopsis

Album Description
2009 debut album from this female-fronted Rock trio. Singer Aja Volkman's soaring vocals deliver the full impact of her powerful lyrical message. Driven by guitarist Rich Koehler's alternately crunching riffs and Funk-fueled leads and drummer Don Epand's explosive percussive attack, the experience of listening to Nico Vega defies easy categorization, not too distant from the operatic stadium Rock sound of Evanescence yet sharing many of the darker melodic undertones of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Produced by Linda Perry.

Jaw-dropping

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I listen to about a thousand albums a year, easily. This is my favorite from the past 10 years. It's one of the best bands, one of the best vocalists, one of the best albums in the history of rock and roll. Simply astounding."

This Band is Incredible

"I wish I could give 7 stars. This CD is just that much better than most real five star CDs. Nico Vega's first album just takes you over, much of it on the strength of Aja Volkman's vocals. Remember that name. She could carry a mediocre group with her voice alone, but her bandmates are far from mediocre. Great tunes reflecting pretty much any genre of music you want, incredible performances, and one of the most enchanting vocalists I've ever heard. What more do you need? If you can see them live, do not hesitate. If you can't see them, you need this cd. I started to list my favorites here but the list became too long. I have to say that I like their earlier version of "Beast," but the one here is great too. I love it that you cannot type Nico Vega. It's been a long time since I've heard a band this versatile. Full disclosure: I do not like slow songs, ballady type things, I just don't. But "Wooden Dolls" gives me the chills, and if they tried to torture me by playing "Iron Man" a thousand times in a row, I would just smile."
