‘Roadsick/Roadsick’, the first single from Versus The World‘s new album, is released today. The Californian post-punk band released their last album in 2015. The track ‘Homesick/Roadsick’ is directly linked to the new single:
‘Roadsick/Roadsick is a bridge between the last record and where we’re headed as a band. I’m happy to have shared this moment with Sean, Flip, Tony and Pat during the recording process. Meeting Cameron Webb and having him as our producer only made it better,’ says vocalist Donald Spence, hinting that the album was produced by famed producer Cameron Webb (Motorhead, Sum 41, Megadeath and more).
Versus The World is made up of members of Lagwagon and Good Riddance, among others – musically, however, the band moves outside the ‘norm’ of skate and pop punk and features influences of emo and post.
