Hello, Star Vega is a hardcore band from New York. Their sound is something like Strike Anywhere meets Unearth — softer than Unearth, but heavier than Strike Anywhere. This EP is quite good; in fact, one of the best self-releases I have heard in a long while. I am quite surprised that some label hasn’t scooped these guys up to start exploiting them yet. If you can get your hands on this, I would definitely pick it up.
