Versonic is living proof that it’s never too late to chase your passions. Fronted by Stephen Connor, who picked up a guitar at 54 and rapidly transitioned from playing Oasis covers at open mics to writing and recording original music, the band has built a reputation for crafting tracks that bridge Britpop nostalgia with modern indie rock energy. Since the release of Brand New Man in 2018, Versonic has remained committed to delivering music with an unrelenting spirit.
With Against The Night, the band injects feverish punches of pop-punk into the backbone of 90s Britpop, with frenetic vocals bringing the energy of Rancid over guitars that blaze between angular indie rock and pop punk hooks. There’s no doubt that Versonic delivered something authentically inventive with Against The Night.
It’s a euphoric riot that protests against the poisoned perception filters and sees the potential in every day. With this on your playlists, you’ll be as unreckonable as Versonic as they storm through the industry with a sound that delivers juggernautical blows to nihilism.
Against The Night is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
