The tires on Versus The Nothing‘s tour bus are always in motion as the melodic hard rockers are proud to announce their first tour of 2012. The Grind Stone tour will kick off in their hometown of Vancouver on Feb 17th and see the band trek across both west and east coast dates in the US and Canada.
“Stoked to get on the road again and support the Black Gloves EP, plus we’re really excited to road test all the new songs we have been writing for our upcoming full length.” commented VTN guitarist Ande Otte.
VTN released their anthem chanting EP “Black Gloves” back in July 2011, with their first single “Killer” to follow up their 2008 release “Let It All Come Down”, which garnered a great reception from fans and industry members alike and saw multiple commercial placements.
Black Gloves was produced by Jay Evjen (Hot Hot Heat, Wide Mouth Mason) who also mixed songs “River” and “Invisible Asylum”. Meanwhile, Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Hedley, Sam Roberts) mixed the album’s official first single “Killer” and “Excuse Me”.

VERSUS THE NOTHING released their debut album “Let It All Come Down” which hit the airwaves in Canada and the US as winners in 2008 Fox Seeds radio contest. In addition to song placement with Mazda, a Tom Green featured film and the Official 2010 Olympic video game for X-box and PS3 the album received praise from critics and fans alike.
After logging over 150,000 Km’s of touring experience playing some of the most legendary venues including Whiskey a Go-Go and The Commodore Ballroom, with some of the biggest names in rock amongst them Hinder and the Art of Dying. Continuously grinding through the elements of the cold Canadian winters and sweltering hot American summers living & breathing their music. VERSUS THE NOTHING released their much anticipated Black Gloves EP on July 19, 2011 which saw them working with industry heavy weight Mike Fraser, known for his work with AC/DC and Metallica.
“We wanted to release The Black Gloves EP as a tease to our upcoming sophomore album. We have been living the ups and downs of being a touring rock n roll band. We eat, drink and almost die doing what we love. Our upcoming release is laced with those life experiences on the road”.
Non-stop touring and a tireless work ethic have transformed Vancouver’s VERSUS THE NOTHING into one of the new rock acts to emerge out of Canada. Their goal is a modest one, one that reflects the true essence and sincerity of their music; to get on the road, tour non-stop, and be heard by as many people as possible.
