The Vices are gearing up to release their brand new single, 'Looking For Faces', the lead single and title track from the band's upcoming debut album, due 12 March via Mattan Records.

Looking for Faces is the latest track to be taken from the Dutch quartet's first full length, following on from the Strokes-esque 'In and Out' and radio hit 'Boy'. The latter has already amassed upwards of 320,000 streams. The Vices' kicked off their career at the start of 2019, supporting Yungblud twice and Feeder later in the year while releasing two EPs.

Speaking of the new track, frontman Floris van Luijtelaar said: "Looking For Faces is about finding your own face and the journey it belongs to. Along the way you find yourself on the highest peaks and lowest lows, "looking for love on the faces of the people on the street" after a break-up or passing of a loved one. These experiences impact you. On this album, and specifically this song, I discovered that for as long as you observe the world around you, think about what you see and trust your intuition, life will indeed shape you, but you can add your own signature to it. And then everything starts to become more fun..." 

Loud, energetic, and super cool - that is how I would describe the new single from The Vices. Their music is not just good. It is dance-around-your-bedroom, define-your-teenage-years good. Looking For Faces has a really awesome guitar riff which you won't be able to get out of your head, and will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head along with every beat. I love it.
