Alt-Rock group X Ambassadors have announced details for VHS(X), a reimagined version of the band’s debut album, VHS. The new release, out August 29th, 2025, sees the band reworking songs like “Jungle” and “Renegades” in celebration of the record’s 10th anniversary.

Along with the news comes the new version of “Unsteady (Rerecorded)” and a new music video.

On VHS(X) and the newly released version of “Unsteady”, front man Sam Nelson Harris shares:

The most valuable lesson I’ve learned about being an artist, I learned when writing this song. I had this great, simple hook written but I didn’t know what to do for the verses. I played it for Alex, our producer, and asked him what he thought I should try and write about. He thought for a second, then asked me what my relationship was like with my parents. “Um, I love them? They’re divorced? It’s complicated?” Write about that, he said. Why? I thought. It seemed so bizarre to me, so mundane. And honestly, my second thought was: who would care? Everyone’s parents get divorced. It’s not unique. Who’s going to care about me whining about how profoundly affected I was by it? And– here’s the key– I was embarrassed. But I wrote it anyway. And making the choice to say something out loud that I felt to be embarrassing, I later realized was making the choice to be vulnerable. Which is what it’s all about. Vulnerability.

In addition to the reimagined record, X Ambassadors will celebrate the 10th anniversary of VHS with the VHS(X) Tour. The North American headline run kicks off on September 2nd and includes two hometown shows in Ithaca, as well as stops in Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Toronto, Brooklyn, Atlanta, and more.
