Saving Vice is a New England-based metalcore outfit that emerged in 2016, quickly establishing themselves as a force in the independent heavy music scene. Founded by bassist Robbie Litchfield, the band's identity is built on the dual-vocalist dynamic of Tyler Small and Chase Papariello.
Their sound is a calculated synthesis of early 2000s melodic metalcore (reminiscent of Killswitch Engage or Underoath) and the more polished, breakdown-heavy style of the 2010s. Critically, they are noted for their ability to maintain 'local scene' authenticity while producing records with high-fidelity, 'big room' sonic qualities. Their career arc shows a steady progression from the raw aggression of their debut EP to the more conceptual and melodic explorations found on 'Hello There' and 'DICHOTOMY'. They occupy a cultural space that appeals to both veteran 'core' fans and a younger generation of listeners who value emotional transparency and technical proficiency. Their influence web connects them to the New England metalcore legacy, though they lean more heavily into the melodic and post-hardcore elements than their predecessors.
