Assembled by band leader Joey Tyler, a Puerto Rican singer from New York City raised on R\u0026amp;B, pop, and Spanish music and equally inspired by metallic post-hardcore, VRSTY blends genres with fearless ambition and visceral enthusiasm. \u003cbr\u003e A handful of EPs preceded 2020's debut album, ‘Welcome Home’, itself followed by a three-part series of sequel EPs solidifying the band's reputation. \u003cbr\u003e The band (comprised of guitarist Paul Gregory, bassist Javier Dorrejo, drummer Chris Cody, and Tyler) specializes in what Kerrang! described as \"endless grooves and danceable parts, punctuated by breakdowns and completed with dark atmosphere.“\u003cbr\u003e  Genuine authenticity and uncompromising passion are crucial to everything about VRSTY. ‘Levitate’, the band's stunning sophomore set, is powered by spirited conviction and a commitment to follow their muse wherever it leads. \u003cbr\u003e It's an album of rich melodic hooks and headbang-inducing grooves. Tylerco-produced ‘Levitate’ with Justin Deblieck (Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White, Lorna Shore, Fit For A King) with George Lever (Sleep Token, Holding Absence, Loathe) handled mixing duties. \u003cbr\u003e VRSTY commands the crowd anytime they perform, connecting with anyone who struggles with feelings of low self-worth, bad relationships, or generally feels like an outsider. It's a feeling of shared community evident on the band's tours with the likes of 10 Years, Nonpoint, Secrets, and For The Fallen Dreams, among others. Ultimately, VRSTY aims to encourage, provoke, and inspire listeners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003e1 Fuck You Forever\u003cbr\u003e2 Back To Back\u003cbr\u003e3 No Chill\u003cbr\u003e4 Black \u0026amp; Blue\u003cbr\u003e5 Wide Awake\u003cbr\u003e6 Dangerous\u003cbr\u003e7 The Plug\u003cbr\u003e8 The Way It Is\u003cbr\u003e9 Doomed\u003cbr\u003e10 Kill The Rich\u003cbr\u003e11 Glad You Came\u003cbr\u003e12 Powerless\u003cbr\u003e13 Can You Love Me?\u003cbr\u003e14 The Feeling\u003cbr\u003e15 Levitate\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spinefarm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42677379661980,"sku":"SPINE800278P","price":12.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_9e31afeb-60b8-419e-bd83-8f20e28c2eb8.png?v=1696367866","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/vrsty-levitate-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
