VIRTUE & VICE
In just over a year, Virtue & Vice have become one of Toronto's most electrifying live rock bands. The release of the band's first EP captured audiences with their raw, energetic and authentic sound.
Virtue & Vice have headlined the top live music venues in Toronto including: The Horseshoe Tavern, The Opera House, The Rivoli, Jeff Healey's Roadhouse, Revival, and were selected to headline the 2007 Mosport Raceway Victoria Day Weekend racing event.
Virtue & Vice made their live television debut performing three songs for a national audience on the Telelatino Network. V&V also seem to have struck a chord with many local radio stations. Being featured on Y108’s Indie Spotlight, Q107, University of Toronto radio morning show, Ryerson University, York University, Thatradio.com and Mohawkradio.com has certainly helped broaden their growing fan base.
After the band released their first EP in early 2007, Virtue & Vice became one of Garageband.com's most successful groups in the Modern Rock genre. Three of their songs went on to capture over 30 awards including 5th Most Original Track All Time for "It's Real", 16 Best Male Vocals All Time in Modern Rock, Best Guitars, and "It's Real" and "Finalize" spent numerous weeks on the top 20 charts in modern rock. The positive feedback and excellent reviews V&V received through Garageband.com earned them three Track of The Day honors in January 2007, and two Track of The Week honors in June 2007.
Jamie Gutfreund (lead guitar, vocals), Jon Jacobson (lead vocals), Alessandro Zito (drums) and Zack Gutfreund (guitars) are getting ready for a what is shaping up to be another busy year. To kick start 2008, Virtue & Vice will release three new tracks that clearly define a fresh new direction in the band’s songwriting. "Never Trust You Again", "Save It", and "Think Of You" are the newest additions to the V&V repertoire. They highlight the sound the band has been searching for to define who and what Virtue & Vice is all about. V&V have also added a new face to the group. Rich Itzkovitch has taken over as the band’s bassist. His superb playing and ability to adapt to V&V’s sound has made for a very easy transition.
In January 2008, V&V will be one of the featured artists in the Los Angeles publication ALL ACCESS Magazine, the online music magazine Artist Launch, and will receive some local attention from the York University newspaper, The Excalibur. V&V also recently licensed their music for the upcoming second season of The Art of Building Bodies on the E! Entertainment Network. The show will be broadcasted throughout Canada and parts of Europe. In March 2008, look out for V&V showcasing their talent during Canadian Music Week at Clinton’s Tavern.

Canadian rockers VIRTUE & VICE demand your attention. A band with an incredibly crisp sound, crossing between hard rock and alternative. The combination of soulful lyrics, soulful vocals, and great musicianship isn't easy to find. Their songs never really die on you instead they grow on you, sounding better each time your hear them.
