The Santa Barbara-based band VERSUS THE WORLD has confirmed their signing and the release of their second album "Drink. Sing. Live. Love." on July 27 via Concrete Jungle Records. VERSUS THE WORLD - consisting of Mike Davenport (THE ATARIS), Chris Flippin (LAGWAGON), Donald Spence, and Bryan Charleson (Crooks and Liars) - formed in the back room of the THE ATARIS-affiliated record store Down On Haley in Santa Barbara and released their self-titled debut album on Kung Fu Records in 2005. In the following years, they toured extensively around the world to promote their debut album, playing with bands such as SUICIDE MACHINES, BOUNCING SOULS, THE LAWRENCE ARMS, SOCIAL DISTORTION, NO USE FOR A NAME, THE VANDALS, I AM THE AVALANCHE, and on the Vans Warped Tour, which helped them gain a steadily growing fanbase worldwide.
In 2010, VERSUS THE WORLD reunited and began writing and recording songs for their eagerly awaited follow-up album, which was completed in the spring of 2012. The album was produced by Thom Flowers (THE ATARIS) at Playback Recording and Orange Whip Studios in Santa Barbara, mixed by Ian MacGregor (ALL AMERICAN REJECTS, KATY PERRY), and mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins. "Drink. Sing. Live. Love." features 13 captivating songs that combine elements of post-hardcore and rock on tracks like "She Sang The Blues," "A Fond Farewell," and "Lullabye."
VERSUS THE WORLD will be touring in Europe in April/May. For more information about the new album, check out the following band pages of VERSUS THE WORLD on Facebook and Twitter www.facebook.com/vstheworldmusic or twitter.com/vstheworld
