About: VERSUS THE NOTHING, a hard rock band from Vancouver BC features heavy guitars, powerful melodic vocals, and an infamous energetic live show. The group is carving out a name for themselves through extensive touring, and have built a loyal and growing fan base across Canada and the United States with their blend of post-punk infused grunge rock.
"Everything you want is on the other side of fear. Fear is something that stops you from achieving or pushing forward against the odds. VERSUS THE NOTHING stands for fighting adversity, doing what you love and overcoming what seems impossible".
VERSUS THE NOTHING released their debut album "Let It All Come Down" which hit the airwaves in Canada and the US as winners in 2008 Fox Seeds radio contest. In addition to song placement with Mazda, a Tom Green featured film and the Official 2010 Olympic video game for X-box and PS3 the album received praise from critics and fans alike.
After logging over 150,000 Km's of touring experience playing some of the most legendary venues including Whiskey a Go-Go and The Commodore Ballroom, with some of the biggest names in rock amongst them
Hinder and the Art of Dying. Continuously grinding through the elements of the cold Canadian winters and sweltering hot American summers living & breathing their music. VERSUS THE NOTHING released their much anticipated
Black Gloves EP on July 19, 2011 which saw them working with industry heavy weight Mike Fraser, known for his work with
AC/DC and Metallica.
"We wanted to release The
Black Gloves EP as a tease to our upcoming sophomore album. We have been living the ups and downs of being a touring rock n roll band. We eat, drink and almost die doing what we love. Our upcoming release is laced with those life experiences on the road".
Non-stop touring and a tireless work ethic have transformed Vancouver's VERSUS THE NOTHING into one of the new rock acts to emerge out of Canada. Their goal is a modest one, one that reflects the true essence and sincerity of their music; to get on the road, tour non-stop, and be heard by as many people as possible.
