Midnight Vice are a young Canadian band from Richmond, British Columbia and have been together since November 1983. The band have had many personnel changes, but the current line-up reads: Steve Jack (vocals), Rob Furland and Rick Hart (guitars), Rod Bruno (bass) and Sandy Hyde (drums).<\/p>\n

The Vice, as they are known to their fans, consider themselves as \u2018class metal\u2019, which isn\u2019t a bad indication to where the band are at. \u2018Vice Squad\u2019 in particular shows their potential with a fine display of mixing hard aggressive metal with a touch of commercialism. In fact, the number is not too dissimilar to Queensr\u00ffche.<\/p>\n

\u2018Arrow To The Sun\u2019 is a little too commercial for my liking, but is a good song just the same, whilst \u2018Reflections\u2019 is more in the ballad vein, but works out well, gradually picking up pace as it goes along.<\/p>\n

Midnight Vice promise that their next demo will be a lot heavier, and if they can continue to develop the potential shown here (as well as keeping a stable line-up) then success may not be that far away.<\/p>\n
