Vors

2002 m. grupę „VORS“ įkūrė KTU radistai Andrius (groja bosu) ir Laurynas (gitara/vokalas). Netrukus prisijungė klavišininkė Živilė ir būgnininkas Vitalijus. Grupės stilius anuomet sviro į klasikinio/gotikinio roko pusę. 2002 m. kolektyvas debiutavo festivalyje „Geležinė Pilis“ Vilniuje. Rudenį į grupę atėjo groti naujas būgnininkas Viačeslavas, kurį po metų pakeitė Paulius (ex „KARMA“). Nuo tada grupės gyvenimas gerokai suaktyvėjo. Buvo ne tik atnaujinta programa, bet ir pasikeitė grojimo stilius – „VORS“ perėjo prie hardroko. Atsinaujinimo rezultatas – debiutinis albumas „Demo“.
