Santa Barbara, CA’s **Versus The World** will release their **Cameron Webb**-produced
album **“The Bastards Live Forever”** on May 26. The first single **“Roadsick/Roadsick”**
is out today and streaming here: [**https://bfan.link/roadsick-roadsick**](https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/6813?id=14056149.36336.1.bc5a7cb24f3b5fb330fac7a2fccf4c22).

_“Roadsick is a band favorite for the record. We wanted a song that felt like it
kicked the door down like the DEA from the get go. A song that after we put it out,
we would have to play it live. Writing it was a blast. Singing it was even more 
fun and hearing it back still gets me stoked. Enjoy!”_, says singer **Donald Spence**.

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!”_

‘[The Bastards Live Forever](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2023/01/santa-barbara-cas-versus-the-world-sign-with-sbam-records-announce-new-album-the-bastards-live-forever-out-may-25/)‘
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.

A post-punk 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 due out in May 2023 on SBÄM Records.
