Santa Barbara, CA’s Versus The World will release their Cameron Webb-produced ((Motorhead, Sum 41, Megadeth) album ‘The Bastards Live Forever’ on May 26.

Directed & Edited by Dan Riesser. Cinematography by Alexander Sablow. Produced by Tony Caraffa & Cody Cundiff. ‘The Bastards Live Forever’ consists of 11 songs crafted to perfection. VTW‘s unique style of melodic post-punk elevates every member’s skill from their other projects including Lagwagon guitarist Chris Flippin and Good Riddance drummer Sean Sellers. Obviously Versus The World are not all about musical craft but you can hear a passion and an urge to scream out deeply rooted feelings in every syllable throughout the record. The band says: “‘The Bastards Live Forever’ was written during the height of the pandemic in 2020. It’s a disparate collection of songs about divorce, shame, love and growth. We can’t wait for you to hear it!”
