After releasing their debut EP, ChooseYourWordsPoorly, on their own in early 2006 and establishing themselves as a popular draw on the local concert scene thanks in large part to Volkman's uninhibited and minimally clothed on-stage performance style, Nico Vega signed with MySpace Records, the new recording arm of the popular social networking site, for their second EP, 2007's No Child Left Behind. Their first full-length self titled debut album was released in February of 2009. It featured three songs produced by Linda Perry -- So So Fresh, Wooden Dolls and Gravity - while the rest were produced by Tim Edgar. The album was mixed by Tchad Blake. The band's popularity soared when they performed three songs on Last Call with Carson Daly in 2009.
Nico Vega toured actively in 2009 supporting their first album with acts such as former Bush singer Gavin Rossdale, Semi Precious Weapons, Neon Trees, Manic Street Preachers, and Shiny Toy Guns. In 2010 they toured with The Soundtrack of Our Lives, Metric, Sweethead, Saint Motel, and Imagine Dragons. In 2011 they toured with She Wants Revenge and Blondie. In 2012 they toured with Neon Trees.
The song "Beast" off Nico Vega's first self titled album was featured in a trailer for the video game Bioshock Infinite in October of 2012 creating a renewed interest in the track.
The band's sophomore album, titled We Are The Art, will be out in April of 2013 on Five Seven Music. We Are The Art was recorded in studios around Los Angeles as well as at Sonic Ranch Studios in Texas. It showcases the band's trademark blues-laden guitar rock, with soaring synths thrown in for good measure.
At the end of October 2012, Nico Vega debuted a video of the title track, We Are the Art, on Vice.com. It was written and directed by Daniel Epand, the band's drummer.

Nico Vega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To rinse me out
In the cold, I die
In the spring, I sprout
My fire is wild
My rage is deep
One black eye
Feel my fury!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
You really light me up!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Feel my fury!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
You really light me up!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Feel my pulse
My heart beats
So I hold it back
But the cancer's deep
Feel my fury!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
You really light me up
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Feel my fury!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
You really light me up!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
And when you lied before
You broke our tie before
And then I tapped into a feeling that I could not ignore
And when you lied before
You broke our tie before
And then I tapped into a feeling that I could not ignore
Feel my fury!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
You really light me up!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Feel my fury!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
You really light me up!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Fury, oh fury don't you misguide me
I need my wits to set me free
Oh fury, oh fury don't you misguide me
I need my wits to set me free
The lyrics of Nico Vega’s song Fury Oh Fury are a raw expression of the artist’s emotions. The song begins with the verses “Make it rain, To rinse me out, In the cold, I die, In the spring, I sprout.” These lines denote a desire for self-cleansing in the midst of sadness and death, followed by a promise of renewal in the future.
The chorus is a repetition of the phrase “Feel my fury,” accompanied by an anthem-like melody. The singer declares her anger and passion through the lyrics, singing “My fire is wild, My rage is deep, One black eye, Busted teeth.” This stanza depicts the intensity of the singer's emotions.
The second verse talks about the singer’s need to hold back her feelings, yet the cancer within her is deep. The chorus is then repeated with a bridge that declares the impact of telling lies, breaking ties, and awakening an undeniable feeling. The song ends with the same chorus followed by the lines “Fury, oh fury don't you misguide me, I need my wits to set me free, Oh fury, oh fury don't you misguide me, I need my wits to set me free,” requesting the fierce emotions to guide her towards a better understanding and subsequent peace.

Make it rain
Cleanse me thoroughly
To rinse me out
I need to be washed clear of this tension
In the cold, I die
In this emotional winter, I'm frozen and emotionless
In the spring, I sprout
But as my heart thaws, my emotions flourish again
My fire is wild
My passion is intense and uncontrollable
My rage is deep
My anger and discontentments are deeply rooted
One black eye
A symbol of my brokenness and pain
Busted teeth
My injuries from fighting back against oppression
Feel my fury!
Experience the fullness of my wrath
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Expressing the intensity of my feelings
You really light me up!
You ignite my emotions and fuel my rage
Feel my pulse
Sense the emotional fervor inside of me
My heart beats
My passion and desire are strong
So I hold it back
I try to control my emotions
But the cancer's deep
My negativity is so ingrained, it's like a disease
And when you lied before
Your betrayal caused me pain in the past
You broke our tie before
I had to sever ties with you because of your lies
And then I tapped into a feeling that I could not ignore
But despite my efforts, my emotions still came to the surface
Fury, oh fury don't you misguide me
But I know I can't let my anger control me
I need my wits to set me free
I need to use my intelligence to fight back and gain freedom

Make a tear
To release me out
In the battlefield, I die
In the tower, I sprout
My tears are wild
My guns are big
A broken machine
Busted buttons

You really make me give you money!
