VRSTY Share "World on Fire" Cover
NEW ALBUM LEVITATE OUT NOW VIA SPINEFARM
BAND TOURING THROUGH SUMMER
Genre-blending and bending New York City-based collective VRSTY (pronounced "Varsity") have shared their cover of Nate Smith's 200 million-streaming smash "World On Fire." Listen here.
"The first time I heard this song, I was absolutely stuck," says singer Joey Varela. "I haven't heard a song that's hit me this hard in a long time. Everything from the lyrics to the way that it's composed is just absolutely amazing to me. I think I knew instantly that I was going to cover it. My only fear was not being able to do the song justice.. but I think I did okay."
VRSTY dropped its most recent album Levitate last fall via Spinefarm. Get it here.
