VersaEmerge
Encyclopedia
VersaEmerge is an American rock
band consisting of Sierra Kusterbeck
and Blake Harnage
, originating from Port St. Lucie, Florida
, USA, currently signed to the label Fueled by Ramen
. They have three EPs - Cities Built on Sand
, Perceptions, and the self-titled release. Their debut album, Fixed at Zero
, was released June 22, 2010. VersaEmerge came together after the two founding members' previous band, My Fair Verona, broke up.
and former drummer Anthony Martone were in high school. They were originally in a band named "My Fair Verona". After My Fair Verona broke up, Harnage and Martone went on to form their own band. They chose the name "VersaEmerge" from the terms "vice versa", meaning opposite, and "emerge" meaning to rise up. The band recorded their first EP, "Cities Built On Sand", in 2005, featuring former members Spencer Pearson on lead vocals, Anthony James on vocals, programming and keys, Josh Center on rhythm guitar, and Nick Osborne on bass as well as Harnage and Martone. With the departure of the four members, the band recruited former bassist Devin Ingelido from Bury the Ashes. The following year, current vocalist Sierra Kusterbeck
auditioned for the vocal position by sending a tape online. While the other members were not too sure about Kusterbeck, Harnage convinced them she was right for the job and she soon joined the band in 2007. Little did they know that Kusterbeck lied about her age saying she was 18 years old, when she was really 16, so she could get an audition. However, Kusterbeck later cleared this misunderstanding and explained that it was more of a mix up; she was turning 17 a week from the audition, and she said to Harnage on the phone, "I'm 17, my birthday is in a week". This was misconstrued to mean she was already 17, and was turning 18, however she actually meant she would be 17 in a week.
. They began to write their self-titled EP, recording with producer James Paul Wisner. The EP was released February 3, 2009..
, The Maine
, The Cab
, and There for Tomorrow
. After the Secret Valentine Tour, VersaEmerge grew a larger fan base and got picked to play 2 of 4 dates of the Give It a Name
2009 festival in the United Kingdom with bands such as Taking Back Sunday, Underoath, Thursday, Escape the Fate, and Innerpartysystem. They returned to the United States and almost immediately left for Bamboozle in New Jersey. When they returned to their homes in Florida, they began writing for their LP for a few months before leaving for Warped Tour '09. After The Warped Tour, they headed to Malibu to record and write for their LP, then packed up for the OP tour featuring headliner Boys Like Girls
, and co-headliners Cobra Starship
, The Maine, and A Rocket to the Moon
.
On September 19, 2009, drummer and co-founding member, Anthony Martone announced through his Twitter saying "I'm No Longer in VersaEmerge. Thanks for all your support. I am currently a drummer for hire, thanks everyone..." After about a week of much inquiry due to Martone's sudden departure, Devin Ingelido and the band posted blogs about their parting with Martone, stating the leave was due to personal reasons that will not be elaborated on. The band hired musician and friend Spencer Peterson (not to be confused with the band's former vocalist, Spencer Pearson) to fill in as a temporary replacement on drums for the OP tour. Spencer Peterson is best known for his time drumming in Hidden in Plain View
and Charlotte Sometimes

On November 22, 2009, guitarist Jerry Pierce announced on Twitter that he will be leaving the band due to personal reasons concerning his family.
