​VRSTY Announce New Album "Levitate" + Share "F**k You Forver" Video

New York City-based collective VRSTY (pronounced "Varsity") — Joey Varela [vocals], Javy Dorrejo [bass], Chris Cody [drums], and Paul Gregory [guitar] — have announced their new album Levitate. The album is out October 27 via Spinefarm. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band has shared the video for the kiss-off anthem "Fuck You Forever," which opens Levitate and is about that one thing that brings out the worst in you. VRSTY are not holding back with the song's message — or its guitar heft and stadium-sized choruses. So go ahead and play it for the most recent person to break your heart!

Watch it here.

"'Fuck You Forever' is very self-explanatory," says Varela. "It's a song about finally being done with being treated like an option and saying, 'Fuck you, I'm better than this.' It can sometimes be hard to see what you deserve when you're treated like you're not important but sometimes you just gotta say fuck it, fuck you, and move on."
