Versus Savannah trample the silence with a stunning new EP, "No Sleep. " It is a five-track burst of electricity, squealing guitar work, and unbridled emotion. Clocking in at over 16 minutes, it wastes no time asserting itself, tearing through the title track and not relenting.
The lead single is the beating heart of the EP, a punk-fueled anthem that lurches from edgy, half-spoken verses to a snarling, sky-punching chorus. With a gravelly vocal that oozes a sense of urgency and guitar lines that slice like wire, the track sits between the smoldering tension of Fontaines D.C. and the scrappy bite of early 00s indie punk. It’s catharsis with a hook, screaming to be howled back in puddle-stomping basements and smoke-mirage venues.
Another standout, “Fool,” skews toward a slicker strain of melody, pairing vulnerability with snarling defiance. It’s a track with a dark undertone that focuses on an epic battle of the mind, between regret and survival, for which soaring choruses that pack an emotional punch, musically and literally, are required.
During "No Sleep," Versus Savannah crafts songs that are urgent and unpolished in the best way: honest, immediate, and all-out music that doesn’t ask for permission. This is music for late nights and long drives, for people who love sweat-streaked shows and real over radio polish. On "No Sleep," Versus Savannah finds itself in the indie punk landscape not just as a band to watch, but to feel. And feel it, you will.
