HiddenTrack #158 VERSUS THE WORLD (Donald Spence)

A punk rock unit from Santa Barbara, California featuring members of Lagwagon and Good Riddance, Versus the World issued their eponymous debut album in 2005 on Kung Fu Records.

Drawing from their dense pedigree the band blends elements of pop-punk, melodic post-hardcore and troubadour-style vocals by founding frontman Donald Spence. Versus the World has toured extensively worldwide on subsequent releases Drink.Sing.Live.Love (2012) and Homesick/Roadsick (2015) in support of bands such as No Use for a Name, The Ataris, Lagwagon and MxPx.

In 2021 the band teamed up with producer Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Megadeth) to make "The Bastards Live Forever" which is out now on SBÄM Records.

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.
