Vice Device tread a line between the post-punk and industrial genres, crafting dark and addictive soundscapes through synthesized tones, drum machines and driving bass riffs. The vocals are equally soothing and aggressive, as male and female voices pass lyrics back and forth through a primarily melancholy backdrop. This combination of sounds results in music that can move and break a listener in the same moment. Vice Device will be celebrating their latest release, a split 12” with Philadelphia-based Void Vision, at Rotture this Thursday night with Arctic Flowers, Industrial Park and DJ Musique Plastique. Go and experience a post-punk party of epic proportions. - Benjamin Toledo
