VERSUS ME - Release Metalcore Cover of the 80's Classic "Shout"

Wisconsin Metalcore quartet Versus Me has debuted their reimagining of the primal Tears for Fears favorite "Shout." The band also teamed up with Loudwire to release a music video alongside the cover of the new wave classic.


Aside from it being a kickass anthem, Versus Me chose to cover "Shout" because of its political protest theme that is still relevant to what's happening in the world today.

"When we were deciding which song we wanted to cover, we knew that it had to be an anthem that everyone has heard before. We went through a ton of different ideas for song choices and finally made the decision with 'Shout,'" says singer James Milbrandt.

The vocalist continues, "We wanted to bring back a classic track while giving it a heavy, Versus Me feel to it. The theme of this song is also very relevant to what's happening in the world today, so it seemed like it was an obvious choice. We're not the first band to cover this song and we won't be the last, but this is our take on this classic song."

The track is produced by Josh Napert and mixed/mastered by Joel Wanasek (Machine Head, Miyavi, Phinehas).
