November 9th, 2013

VersaEmerge caused a lot of confusion among fans when they suddenly announced that they would be permanently changing their name to VERSA. They’ve received a lot of questions about the change, and decided to post a statement addressing some of those concerns. In a nutshell, they decided that they’ve grown and changed over the years, and felt they should have a new moniker that reflects that. You can read the entire statement by taking a look below the jump.

The band also announced that they will be reissuing their debut EP, Perceptions, on vinyl. More details on that should be revealed tomorrow, November 10.

Hello all!

We’ve been getting a lot of questions via twitter/etc about the recent changes we’ve announced and the becoming of VERSA. We hope we can answer a few of those questions here and now.

We (Sierra and I) started writing new music very early in 2011 for what was to be a new VersaEmerge release. Since then, we’ve written over 70 different songs and have spent nearly 3 years traveling the globe and writing the music we want to represent us. All the time, growing and learning absurd amounts along the way. We’ve ended up with a handful of songs that we truly love and fully stand behind, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

We’ve matured a lot, not only musically, but as people as well. We couldn’t possibly have known what this music would morph into, and we’ve never been more excited (or nervous) to release it. We’re so thankful to have always had fans that have grown with us and have supported us through our constant state of mitosis. We’re asking everyone to embrace this massive change and see VERSA as a new endeavor, by two new people making music with no limitations or preconceptions. We’re only just getting started.

WE WILL BE RELEASING our debut single as VERSA shortly, along with info on a new release. We hope you all are as excited as we are…
