The Band's Formation and Background
The band, Nats, was formed in 2009 in the UK Midlands. The members initially came together when Tom and James approached lead singer Nick, who had previous band experience. They started as a project for their label, Frontiers, but after writing a couple of songs together, they decided to form a full-fledged band. The band's goal was to play live shows and make music that developed and evolved while maintaining their signature Vega sound.
