What’s the story behind the formation of the band and the name?

 

We all found each other on CRAIGSLIST… :)    The band name really doesn’t have a specific meaning… we just liked the letters VoV … we just filled it up with Vice on Victory.

 

Being a female fronted band, do you find unnecessary attention drawn even more towards that…for example, this question? =]

We get a TON of comparisons to Paramore. We find it flattering since they are such a successful band.. We just sometimes wish people would be more open minded and look past the people in the band and LISTEN to the music… its very very different.

 

Your album, Glitter and Gold, was released recently, what was the writing and recording process like?

 

It was a really exciting and exhausting process.  We wrote most of the songs within the two weeks leading up to actually recording.  We had to hurry and get it done so it could be released in March. We even wrote a few songs in the studio. We had so much fun actually recording the album.  It was amazing to hear the music that was playing in our heads come to life…

 

For someone who hasn’t seen you live yet, how would you describe your live shows?

 

We try to make our live show as interactive and dancey as possible.. and our crowd always suprises us… we see kids dancing, twirling glowsticks, moshing, it changes everyday but its always fun!!

Speaking of live shows, you guys just started off a tour recently, how have the first few nights been looking so far?

 

We have played about 4 dates of the Dancefloor Disastour and they have been great! We are so lucky to be on tour with some really amazing bands who have great music and an established audience.  We couldn’t have asked for a better first tour so far.

Is there anywhere in particular you’d love to play in the future?

 

NEW YORK!!! we have been around the U.S. twice now and still haven’t played New York.

 

If there was one band (active or non-active) you’d like share the stage with, who would it be?

 Forever the Sickest Kids…. hands down

How was the Columbus, Ohio music scene like for you all growing up?

 

Most of us are not from Columbus so we didn’t see the scene growing up.. but recently the scene is getting bigger and bigger. There are TONS of good bands coming out of Ohio so it really keeps us on our toes.

Are there any bands or musicians who we’d be surprised you’re inspired by?

 We are really scattered when it comes to our inspiration.. We get ideas for our music from so many bands its hard say if they would be suprised. I could name a million but… we were listening to Oceana and Forever the Sickest Kids when we wrote the songs for Glitter & Gold …metal, country, techno.. its really all over the place :)

What plans do Vice on Victory have that we should look forward to?

 We just plan to get on the road and stay on the road!! Just keep checking www.myspace.com/viceonvictory for our schedule!!
