Band Information

Vice was an early Brisbane entry into the true metal stakes, forming in 1984 and establishing a sound that flirted with thrash and speed metal. Michael Hannah replaced Michael Black early on and Vice backed up the mini-album release with an interstate tour and a support slot with The Sweet, however the band split up after James was stabbed on-stage by an enraged punter in 1985.

The singer reformed the band late the following year with an all new line up of Darryl McDonald (drums, ex-Black Widow), Peter Cook (bass), Robby Peters (guitar) and Dave Roberts (keys), keeping the name but changing Vice's musical outlook toward a mellower, hard rocking style in the vein of Bon Jovi.

Vice carried on in varying incarnations into 1990 but split that year.
