“Released 17 February, ‘Come On (Up For Air)’ is the brand new single from Versonic. The five piece rock band from Epsom, Surrey, find their inspiration in the likes of Oasis, and Noel Gallagher, but nonetheless have their very own sound and style. Opening with a thrumming bass, ‘Come On (Up For Air)’ is a certified bop from clearly very talented artists. The driving drums and powerful guitars combine with the bass to lay down the perfect instrumental for the vocalists – nobody overpowers anyone else, all are given equal weight and attention in a truly democratic distribution. The bridge comes in beautifully at about the 3/4 mark, with the guitars scaling up and down the fretboards in a rather pleasurable manner. Clearly gorgeous and melodic, ‘Come On (Up For Air)’ is a song that you’ll have no regrets in playing over and over.” - Lisa Hafey

“The acclaimed indie rock act, Versonic, has twisted the melons of early 90s Britpop yet again with the anthemic angular melodicism in their bitter-sweet latest single, Come On (Up for Air). With a bassline that will make any Pixies fans palpitate over and the opening lyric, “how does it feel to be suffocated by yourself again”, which grabs your attention by the throat, it’s safe to say Stephen's award-winning writing skills are as sharp as ever. How he managed to pull the euphoria from “cos no one’s gonna save you, no one’s looking for you and no one’s gonna make it alright (for you)” was nothing short of genius. The painfully honest yet lyrically liberating nature of Come On is just one of the reasons to delve into the artful reinvention of the 90s Britpop wheel. Come On (Up for Air) was officially released on February 17th 2023. ” - Amelia Vandergast

“If a band can captivate you within the first five seconds of a track, you know you’ve just stumbled across aural dynamite. Versonic’s explosively potent single “A Second in Time” will flood you with nostalgia sweeping you back to all of your favourite 90s Britpop bands, yet it’s safe to say that even compared to the most iconic of Indie outfits, not many compare to the ethereal offering from the vocals. With the same fuzzy reverb as used by bands such as the Verve, the distortion hits and introduces the stunningly resonant vocals which rest neatly against the electrifying instrumental arrangements. If you’re looking for an emotively-charged Indie anthem that’s going to hit you like an absolute tonne of bricks you can check out Versonic’s single 'A Second in Time' for yourselves” - Amelia Vandergast

“How they managed to pack that much progression into a three minute track is still baffling. What starts out as a typically sweet indie track seamlessly explodes into an instrumental segment that you’d swear was part of a Prog Rock anthem. When the concluding chorus really kicks in it carries so much bounce it’s almost dizzying. I seriously can’t rate these guys enough. I’m putting money on it now. They’re going to be huge.” - Amelia Vandergast

“There was no forgetting Epsom, UK Alt-Indie artist Versonic after we heard their magnetic Indie Shoegaze track, A Second in Time in 2018. This time, they’re back with even more harmonic motion and sonorous lyrical depth with their single “Seen it All”. Perceptibly, 2020 has had a profound effect on the already highly acclaimed award-winning songwriter Stephen Connor. If you’ve been fraught with ennui recently, it may just feel like the lyricism has been taken from your own unshockable mind which scarcely knows how to react to atrocity anymore. Despite the resilient upbeat vitality of Seen It All, there’s no retracting the striking melancholy from the lyrics. But that’s not to say that you won’t find plenty of soul-soothing accordance in the driving, cavernous, radiant track which will definitely appeal to any fans of the Alt 90s sound.” - Amelia Vandergast
