Vices - Now That I Have Seen I Am Responsible

Sydney’s hardcore melodic punks Vices have captured some truly heartfelt moments and blended them seamlessly with big picture issues on their new record.

On the personal side the group covers topics such as death, grief and divorce which all pluck strongly on the heart strings. Vocalist John McAleer should be highly commended for opening up so much to fans with these tracks, in particular with the track Alone.

Then on the more broad scale Vices attempt to tackle issues of veganism, religion and life’s purpose.

Throughout the 13 track offering the tempo is kept high, and despite that this record feels like Vices tightest record composition wise. This raw yet considered approach means these songs hit fast with a heavy emotional gravitas.
