- Versus is an American indie rock band formed in 1990 by Richard Baluyut, Fontaine Toups, and Edward Baluyut in New York City, United States. Richard and Fontaine were to remain the two core members throughout the band's history. The band was noted for their marriage of indie pop songwriting and vocal harmonies to the "loud-soft" dynamics of grunge and alternative rock. They were also noted for their proficient and disciplined musicianship and for their credo of "meat, sports, and rock", none of which had much currency in the early 1990s American indie scene. They named themselves after the Mission of Burma album Vs. Versus has counted at least one, usually two, and sometimes three of the Filipino-American Baluyut brothers as members throughout its existence, and was perhaps the most prominent example of a wave of American indie bands emerging in the early 1990s which featured Asian American members. Merge Records is Versus' most recent record label, although they have maintained a long involvement with TeenBeat Records, and released two CDs through Caroline Records in the mid-1990s. The band makes an appearance in the 1994 cult road movie Half-cocked. (en)
- I Versus sono un gruppo musicale indie rock statunitense formato a New York nel 1990 dal cantante/chitarrista Richard Baluyut e la bassista Fontaine Toups e il batterista Edward Baluyut dopo lo scioglimento della loro precedente band . La loro musica è un indie rock melodico e malinconico, che prende spunto dalle atmosfere di Galaxie 500, Yo La Tengo, con qualche influenza anche del noise rock degli Sonic Youth. Il nome della band deriva dall'album Vs. dei Mission of Burma. (it)
