Rehab present Scarlet Fear + Vegas Assault + Fury + Awake By Design

Scarlet Fear are a five piece band that are noted for their explosive live performances.
Scarlet Fear's style toys with metal, punk, rock and flirts with influences of all kind,
promising an intense sound of their own.

"Their sound is definitely on the heavier side of Alternative-Rock; with tight basslines, dark riffs and sharp percussion coming together for a well constructed noise that twitches with energy and shows a genuine skill as a band for composing and performing their tracks. Heather’s got an excellent vocal that really works with their sound, it’s the perfect mix of melody and raw emotion, and powerful enough to hold her own against the rest of the band going full-out." Surface Unsigned 2008

Vegas Assault is a four-piece hard-rock band that formed in October 2006. The group came together when Christopher Mountford, Simon Donovan and Christopher Allen met on a Music Technology course at NEW College in Bromsgrove. From that moment, they hit it off and decided to carry on outside college as a full band.

However, their search for a singer was a very difficult task. As all members had been in previous bands where they were not content with their vocalists, they wanted to make sure they picked the right person for the role. As many applicants as they had, they just could not find a person that would fit. Over the next few months, VA went into the shadows as they concentrated on other musical exploits.

In July 2007, they decided to return full time into Vegas Assault and once again started the search for a new lead singer. However, their patience paid off with the acquisition of vocalist Dave Collins.

Since Dave's arrival, the band have concentrated on writing new material. They took their material live for the first time in December 07 in Worcester and have since played the Birmingham Barfly, became runners up in Trigger Record's Band Idol Competition (winning three-track recordings out of that) and are currently finalists in the Redditch Battle Of The Bands 2008.
