About Me

.. "
Idle Vice is a rock band from Long Island, New York. Their musical ideology consists of post-punk garage rock with a callous yet unforgettably pop vocal style. The sonic rush of their two independently released EP’s: “Intoxication and Refreshment” (2007) and "A Way You'll Never Be..." (2006) combined with their live shows have brought them to garner a large fan base in the Long Island area. Since forming in the summer of 2005, Idle Vice has developed their own distinguished rock n’ roll sound consisting of their signature riff-rock guitar leads, solos and three part vocal harmonies. Their influences range from such bands as The Ramones and Led Zeppelin to Weezer and The Movielife. However, Idle Vice is not just another Long Island Rock band that plays the same clubs and bars weekend after weekend, month after month. They have gone as far as taking the initiative to book, promote and finance two tours all on their own. In the summer of 2006, Idle Vice spent over two weeks touring the east coast. In the fall of 2007, they took it one step further and spend three months touring around the entire United States to promote their second EP “Intoxication and Refreshment” subsequently selling close to 1,200 copies in just the first 3 months after its release on August 12th 2007. The band has spent the winter months of 2007/2008 writing new material and recording demos at Nada Recording Studios in upstate New York, as well as playing shows around Long Island and New York City. In March of 2008, the band began booking a second U.S. Tour scheduled for fall of 2008.

CHECK OUT OUR BLOG FOR THE L.I. SPOTLIGHT ARTICLE!GOODTIMES REVIEW: SEPTEMBER 2007

We’ve said it before: Idle Vice is going to make it. This outstanding five-song EP is further proof that it’s just a matter of time before this quartet will be on the road again, or signed to a major label. This is a tremendous disc is one of the best we’ve been privy to in months. Charisma, style, attitude, and rock & roll ethic, Idle Vide has it all going on.Good heavens, is this music original. From the great title to the outstanding recording job – yeah, it’s VuDu Studios again, like that’s any sort of a surprise; Mike Watts is a friggin’ genius – there’s a little something here for any rock fan. Unlike a lot of bands, Idle Vice isn’t a carbon copy of something else that’s going on at the moment. They’re not emo, they’re not hard rock, they’re not alt – they’re Idle Vice, and they’re forging their own identity as a tighter-than-tight melodic modern rock band.The Huntington-based band – Matty Lupinacci (vocals), Branden Gallagher (bass), Jayson Howard (drums), and Justin Fentrich (guitar) – has already toured the east coast and are planning a three-month national tour to move this EP. It shouldn’t be hard; with stick-in-your-memory cuts such as “Cast Away,” “You’re Game,” and “The Verdict,” this is a band that features lyrics as deep as their music is catchy. And they appear to be proud products of the region: The inner liner notes feature a photo of a “Greetings From Long Island” postcard. Hey, cats, we’re proud of Idle Vice, too. This disc is easily one of the best local products of 2007.For more information on this superb band, log on to idlevicerock.com or myspace.com/idlevice. – Syl Nathan

Sounds Like: What would happen if an old school 70's rock band visisted the future Met with a pop-punk band from Long Island, rocked out in the garage and recorded it.
