Independently released and now available via the bands own website, the Leeds (UK) based quintet announce the arrival of their new digital-download EP ‘Alternative Reality’. 

Offering fans and music lovers a ‘Pay As You Feel’ model to this release, VS deliver their new material as  an EP that showcases the band’s evolving sound, new dynamics and aesthetics all wrapped up in 4 tracks (and featuring Bonus track and previous single ‘One In A Million’) that will touch a nerve with those who crave raw, melodic and guitar-driven alternative rock.

Steadily making progress in conquering followers across the globe, Vs has grown from their initial three piece to a five -manned rock machine (enter Sparks and Luke Dydeon guitar) shifting the dynamics of the band to a whole new level. Maintaining the rustic and lo-fi approach to their new material as evident on their ‘Reality‘ EP debut, Vs are unashamedly channelling the sonic ghosts of yesteryear into modern alternative rock . Describing Vs – Devine Magazine said ‘A vibe that is more authentic grunge than the post-grunge emergence of bands like Creed, Candlebox and Puddle Of Mudd’.

VS allies are Shortie Himself (vocals), Sparks (Lead Guitar), Luke Dyde (Guitar), Bear (Bass) and Dave ‘Jungle’ Branigan (Drums)
