Veg are a four piece hardcore, stoner rock band from Birmingham, consisting of Abe Hartshorne (Lead Guitar), Christopher Whitehurst (Drums, Vocals, Lyrics, Guitar), Chris Williams (Bass) and Sky-Maya Groom (Guitar, Recording Engineer, Mixing Engineer, Mastering Engineer, Backing vocals) and Technology is there debut single, released on 10/03/2023.

Being just over 30 seconds in length, the track discusses how the overuse of technology (social media) shortens our attention span and feeds us fake happiness and insecurities.

Despite the lyrics “technology, technology, fuck you” repeated during the second part of the song, Veg are not adverse to the use of technology, rather that we “take a step back and assess what forms of technology are bringing value to your life and what forms of technology are devoiding you of it.”

With pounding drums, punchy guitar work and punk-influenced vocals, the track is short, to the point and explosive. It gets its message across very clearly and succinctly, all while providing a snapshot of what this band is about.

A great introduction to a band I think will have some very important issues to write about. I look forward to hearing more from them in the very near future.
