Our Vices hails from Metro Detroit. Starting in the spring of 2013, they have never strayed away from writing the most heavy hitting and melodic music possible.

They went into the studio with Mike Martenson of Boys Of Fall to create their second, more long form, EP titled “Polarity”. This EP gained them a lot of traction and new opportunities. Following this they wrote a slew of singles throughout 2017 and 2018 before choosing to switch producers. Late 2019 they stepped into the studio with Lee Albrecht. Releasing their first single with him in November 2019 titled “Deathwish”. After having a period of too much time on their hands (2020) they pumped out three new singles in the following years which eventually were compiled to create “The Fog” EP. Adding a new member to the band in 2022 gave a fresh perspective to writing. They’re gearing up to release new music in 2024 and hitting a city near you.
