Satirical, in-your-face, yet somewhat disturbing, Joss Mars and the Vice bridge the gap between rock, indie, progressive and pop conventions. Corruptible by nature, this band is probably not the best source of good moral code; unless you are pursuing a career in arson. It’s not gangsta rap, but it’s not far off. JMTV combine catchy hooks, cheeky lyrics, guitar soundscapes and industrious grooves into a stirring pot of eclectic musical edibleness. 

The band started somewhere back in 2009 within the Queensland Conservatorium, when Joss brought his own studio experiments to Zac Greensill and Jason Lambeth. The project soon became a combination of Jason’s busy drums rhythms, Zac’s imaginative guitar arrangements and Joss’ energetic vocal musings . The project was benched however after a brief stint as its members continued on other musical endeavours. Joss completed JMTV as an in-studio side project and the band re-emerged with a new bassist; a soulless ginger called Dale Prinsse and Drummer, Matt Holland. The new product, as Dale describes it, ‘shifts between Sex rock on crack and Trollstep’.
If some sort of orgy love child between A Perfect Circle, RATM, Muse, VAST, Queens of the Stone Age, and Porcupine Tree seems like something you would like to hear while love-making, then Joss Mars and the Vice should definitely be on your bedside playlist.
Whether its melody or groove you’re after, comedy, drama, or something that you want to break stuff to, the eccentric imagination of Joss Mars and the Vice will bring out your inner child….. the nasty one, that kicks people in the shins just for giggles.
