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 however the band split up after James was stabbed in a fight in 1987.

The singer reformed the band late the following year with an all new line up of Darryl McDonald (drums), 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.
