THE VICES
SHARE BRAND NEW TRACK ‘NEVER HAD TO KNOW’ ALONGSIDE KALEIDOSCOPIC BANGER ‘STRANGE AGAIN’
NEW ALBUM ‘UNKNOWN AFFAIRS’ LANDS ON 17TH MARCH VIA MATTAN RECORDS
THE QUARTET ANNOUNCE LONDON DATE IN MARCH, FOLLOWING SETS AT EUROSONIC AND SXSW 2023
Groningen alt-rock outfit The Vices have shared brand new single ‘Never Had To Know‘, listen here, alongside a refresher of breakout track ‘Strange Again‘.
A soaring, ethereal number, The Vices’ latest offering takes a slight dip in tempo to showcase a more introspective version of the four-piece. Speaking about ‘Never Had To Know’, vocalist Floris van Luijtelaar explains, “I didn’t want to see that some things will never be how they were before, so I closed my eyes. I acted as if everything was ‘alright’, until this song came around and made me realise that looking away doesn’t get anything that I lost back…”
It also comes alongside a refresher for breakout track ‘Strange Again’ – a kaleidoscopic juggernaut that pushes and pulls the fundamentals of rock music in every direction. The band elaborate, “‘Strange Again’ is a song about restlessness. A common occurrence in a band where half of the members have ADHD. It’s about the constant urge to explore the unknown to ten find yourself back in a place you already know. ‘I Never wanted, yet I am back again’…This is exhausting, but it can also lead to some of the most beautiful moments.”
Both of the songs are taken from The Vices new album ‘Unknown Affairs’ due for release on Friday 17th March 2023 via Mattan Records. And they’ll be bringing their electrifying live experience to the UK when they play their own curated Vice Fest at London’s Bush Hall on Saturday 18th March.
Pulling inspiration from rock juggernauts like The Strokes and Cage The Elephant, with a bit of early Red Hot Chili Peppers thrown in for good measure, their fusion of Britpop and surf rock had propelled them outside of their Dutch hometown and onto stages alongside the likes of Yungblud, Nothing But Thieves and Black Honey.
