He&#8217;s not going down without a fight. The clip is simple and no nonsense, first shot in black and white, and then filtered colour, just the band playing in a rehearsal room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All four members of The Vice Rags were previously members of respected Jersey rock bands before joining forces. Joe Chyb drummed for garage rock band, The Anderson Council, while guitarist Jack Roberts played for punk band, Mars Needs Women. GE on bass (known to Jersey rock fans as &#8220;Gay Elvis&#8221;) was with Kid With Man Head, and also played with The Vice Rags&#8217; frontman, Paul Rosevear, in power pop band, Readymade Breakup. All were from very different bands, but found unity in their Jersey attitude.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out The Vice Rags online on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/thevicerags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_59716\"  width=\"640\" height=\"480\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"480\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2t0EiWGkWeo?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"THE VICE RAGS &quot;Jersey Boy&quot;\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/2t0EiWGkWeo\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A true Jersey Boy has a certain swagger, and isn&#8217;t impressed by awards or accomplishments, reputation or bankroll, but rather judges people by the way they act.
