VERSUS ME has had the honor of sharing the stage with acts like I PREVAIL, SEVENDUST, THE PLOT IN YOU, WE CAME AS ROMANS, NORMA JEAN, THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT, BEARTOOTH, and STARSET
Every generation has its stars that audiences can point to as meaningful people who rise above the noise of empty promises, passing trends and inflated egos. The most important, vital and uplifting songs are the ones that connect with listeners on a level that’s deeper than a catchy melody, a pulverizing breakdown or a memorable groove. Only a handful of musicians are able to come together with like-minded friends and capture that sort of lightning in a bottle in the practice room, in the studio and onstage.
VERSUS ME is such a band for today’s subcultural and mainstream pop crowds alike. They have crafted a debut album featuring the type of crowd-ready anthems heard in stadiums on the One Direction/5 Seconds Of Summer world tour, while simultaneously harnessing the heaviness and earnest delivery found each year on the Warped Tour’s main stage and in the pages of Alternative Press, Rocksound, Kerrang! and Big Cheese.
The band’s debut and sophomore album was recorded in Nashville with additional tracking taking place in Versus Me’s home state of Wisconsin. Josh Napert produced the album and Joel Wanasek (Drum Forge, Nail the Mix, Machinehead, Inhale/Exhale, Monuments) mixed and mastered both efforts.
