Versus, a
New York City based
Indie Rock Band, formerly.
Sadly,
Versus broke up without fanfare sometime in
2001. Sources close to the band indicate the separation was cause by a general dissatisfaction with their 10 years of tepid success. The lack of
Versus's popularity in the scene was inexplicable -
Versus seemed to be the smallest Indie band everyone had heard of. However, after 7 years and 5 albums of solid catchy pop, the Indie press continued to be under whelmed. I've heard and contributed various theories as to why "
the kids" failed to hook onto
Versus, my favorite being that they were a victim of the
fanboy racism that permeates the Indie Rock world.
Releases include:
The Stars Are Insane
Dead Leaves
Secret Swingers
Two Cents Plus Tax
Hurrah
