Versus (band)
Versus is an American indie rock band formed in 1990 by Richard Baluyut, Fontaine Toups, and Edward Baluyut in New York City. Richard and Fontaine were to remain the two core members throughout the band's history.〔(Detroit Metro Times )〕 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,〔(AsianWeek.com ) Retrieved 11 December 2009〕 and was perhaps the most prominent example of a wave of American indie bands emerging in the early 1990s which featured Asian American members.〔(NY Times - Asian-Americans Stake a Claim on Rock ) Retrieved 11 December 2009〕 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.〔(Magnet Magazine Issue 75 Lost Classics: Versus ) Retrieved 11 December 2009〕〔(Philadelphia Citypaper:Free Versus ) Retrieved 11 December 2009〕
The band makes an appearance in the 1994 cult road movie Half-cocked.

The band still continued to tour occasionally but began a recording hiatus in 2001 after it broke up for a short period and Richard Baluyut relocated to San Francisco.〔 The members afterwards moved on to other bands - James Baluyut and Patrick Ramos formed +/-, Fontaine Toups formed The Fontaine Toups and Richard Baluyut converted his solo acoustic project Whysall Lane into a full band.〔(AV Club: Versus and Soft Power at the Black Cat Backstage ) Retrieved 11 December 2009〕 Former member Edward Baluyut formed and played in The Pacific Ocean from 1996 to 2003.
