Mister West:

Reunited hard rockers VAIN will be releasing their new album, "On the Line", in the U.S. on August 23 via Perris Records. The new CD features ten new scorching tracks produced and recorded by lead singer Davy Vain and the band. "This new CD encompasses all of the elements that fans have grown to expect from VAIN's music: pure, raw energy, emotion and attitude," says guitarist Jamie Scott.

"On the Line" was produced entirely in Davy's recording studio, The Groove Room. The Groove Room features one of the most highly desired vintage microphone, compressor and outboard gear collections around. As Davy puts it, "I've always had a thing for the vibe and sound of classic recordings of the '60s and 70s." Jamie's take on recording at The Groove Room: "I think it's just been a natural progression of Davy's to aquire the vintage equipment that has produced some of the best sounding recordings of all time and at the same time create an environment that allows him capture his music on his terms. The Groove Room is an extension of that."
