Leave a comment

The music video for Versus The Worlds’ first new single ‘Roadsick/Roadsick’ is out. With it the band builds a bridge to their last album ‘Roadsick/Homesick’ – the song is stylistically similar to their ‘advanced pop-punk’, which already goes slightly in the emo direction. On their upcoming album The Bastards Live Forever (May 2023) Versus The World show their finesse in post-punk as before.

The band consisting of prominent members of bands like Lagwagon or Good Riddance, is on European tour this summer.

The post-punk band featuring members of Lagwagon, Good Riddance announce new album ‘The Bastards Live Forever’

‘I can’t tell you how much work went into this collection of songs. I’d always been taught that if what you were working on wasn’t (what you thought) was your best… start over. Never put anything into the world that you were not absolutely sure of.’, says singer Donald Ashley Spence. 

And that is what happened: ‘The Bastards Live Forever’ is due May 2023 via SBÄM Records and consists of 11 songs crafted to perfection. VTW’s unique style of melodic post-punk elevates every member’s skill from their other projects including Chris Flippin of Lagwagon. Obviously Versus The World are not all about musical craft but you can hear a passion and an urge to scream out deeply rooted feelings in every syllable throughout the record.

(new single) No Drop For Us released new single ‘Delirios’!

Leave a comment
This new single deals with the theme of insomnia. There are feelings that begin to prevent the protagonist from resting, which can be a gateway to major problems or increase those that have been dragging. Both compositionally and thematically, it tries to convey the strong anxiety that can produce to face this sleep disorder. The Iris has been chosen for the art of this theme because this flower has sedative properties that can facilitate the conciliation of sleep. The color purple has been chosen for the visual art of this theme as it tends to represent or induce a state of relaxation.
‘Antesis’ is the latest work of the band. A conceptual EP that addresses one of the most important taboo topics in today’s society, mental health. The work is composed of 6 tracks. In each one of them, a hypothetical situation is shown in the different phases that a person can suffer in his fall towards depression. Anthesis, in botany, means the development of flowers from birth to withering. A concept that ideally represents the theme of the EP creating a parallelism. In addition, we wanted to find a relationship between art and theme, where each of the themes have a certain color and a figure that helps to emphasize the message that each song wants to express. The figures make reference to different plants to give meaning to the name of the EP. This album has been produced by No Drop For Us and recorded, mixed and mastered at Baboon records, Albacete, studio where bands like Angelus Apatrida have trusted for the recording of their new album.
