Popmatters.com review - "...This is pop music as God intended. It's infectious."

These euphoric and whimsical popsters got their start from the union of singer/songwriters Jason Roberts and Timothy Ruble in 2003.

Fusing their modern take on 60's pop psychedelia, The Vice and Virtue Ministry was recorded over several months with Stuart Sikes (Modest Mouse, Cat Power, The Walkmen, White Stripes, etc...). Stuart inserted a polished vision of the Happy Bullets' sound, and the end result is one of the most symphonic pop records in recent memory.

Since their first shows, they have incorporated a variety of fresh sounds including horns, three part harmonies, cello and various members of other local bands as part of their show. They have played with Mates of State, Holly Golightly, Architecture in Helsinki, Of Montreal, Pleasant Grove, Deathray Davies, the Tah-Dahs, Centro-Matic and many more.
