VICE- “YOU MADE US THIS WAY” CD (Self Released April 20, 2012)Hailing from NYC’s Staten Island this is the debut full length from VICE (Vague Intentions Cause Empathy). The disc starts off with“Teenage Nightmare” and lead singer Andrew’s screams of “These fucking kids, they just want shit, they just take shit”…leads into atirade against the spoiled brats of today. Right off the bat you can hear that Vice is just straight up nasty, raw and pissed the fuckoff. Andrew’s screamed vocal approach, a raw production, lots of guitar feedback (think Indecision’s “Unorthodox”), ...read more
VICE- “YOU MADE US THIS WAY” CD (Self Released April 20, 2012)Hailing from NYC’s Staten Island this is the debut full length from VICE (Vague Intentions Cause Empathy). The disc starts off with“Teenage Nightmare” and lead singer Andrew’s screams of “These fucking kids, they just want shit, they just take shit”…leads into atirade against the spoiled brats of today. Right off the bat you can hear that Vice is just straight up nasty, raw and pissed the fuckoff. Andrew’s screamed vocal approach, a raw production, lots of guitar feedback (think Indecision’s “Unorthodox”), and A LOT ofgrind-core parts where they hit warp speed sums up what this band is about. 20 songs in 34 minutes? Do the math, these songscome and go like rapid fire leaving your head spinning and dizzy. There are a lot of grind-core style parts here which is not my thingbut there is more on display here as well as Vice does a good job of meshing different styles together to come up with their sound.If you think back to the 90’s, NYHC had the Coney Island High bands that fit what was perceived to be the lone NYHC style and thenthere were the ABC No-Rio bands that were more out there, diverse and didn’t always fit in to any one style. Vice would have beena rarity in that they more than likely would have fit into both scenes. The dance parts that Vice have constructed within a lot oftheir songs are simply brutal and will leave many a pit-dweller bruised and battered. There are a couple of clever sound bites inbetween a few of the songs but the one that made me crack up was one of a guy saying “Being miserable and treating other peoplelike dirt is every New Yorkers God given right”. No idea where this sound clip came from but many of you living here in NY will get agood laugh from reading that quote as there are a lot of people living here that basically think that way. A nice DIY effort… notperfect, but a disc worthy of your attention from a young band that is out there playing a lot of local shows and not afraid to rolltheir sleeves up and get their hands dirty.- In Effect HardcoreGet it here...http://vicexnyhc.bandcamp.com/ or hard copy and merch www.vice.bigcartel.com « hide |
