Versus - Stuff That Matters

Number of posts : 67 Registration date : 2007-08-10

Today I was looking around for any old bands I might have overlooked in my youth, I came across Versus. I actually saw them perform at Agape 1994 in Greenville, MO(?) when I was 16. So I decided to give them a shot. When I went to find the cd I found a few but the price on this site blew my mind!!! ( i just bought one elsewhere for 7 bucks)

Yeah, the person holding this at ransom, I mean selling through Amazon, must not know that this is not a highly sought after CD in the CCM world. I've seen it in bargain bins for years but never even bothered to check it out.

What style is it? Anyplace to hear some of it? My Google search was almost fruitless.

It's not very good actually. The band was much better live. The sound is early 90's rock and soul. I remember the guitarist totally shredding out at Agape. This is 1993 Starsong pop rock.

Do you happen to know if it is the same band that released Versus – One

From their old myspace page: April 1986: Mike and Bob say, "let's play some music that grooves. June 1986: Tom joins the band then Jack joins the band, does one gig and decides he wants to go solo. It's just Bob, Tom and Mike again. Fall 1986: Owen joins after graduating from U of O. 1987: Christian joins right out of high school. 1989: "One" is released. 1990 Reunion Records and Starsong records are interested in Versus. 1991: Begin recording "Funny Hat", it's only a demo. 1992: Versus wins contest and ends up with Starsong records. 1993: Record "Stuff that Matters" in Minneapolis with Tedd T. 1994: Move to Nashville. 1995: marks the end. Perhaps a reunion concert one of these days

Thanks for info. I was curious if all of these releases were from the same band. Thanks for confirming that. I wonder if they were considered a 'Christian band'?

Yeah they were. They were on a Christian label and played Christian shows (Agape and some other fests...)
