This Is Our Vice is the debut studio album by Australian alt-pop group Cub Sport, released on 4 March 2016.[5]

Upon release, the group said "This Is Our Vice is an honest musical expression of some of the most defining experiences for us over the last couple of years. When creating this album, we wanted to go deeper than we had with previous Cub Sport releases. Our EPs earned us a reputation for making upbeat, catchy music and I guess one of our goals for the album was to create music that was still catchy and upbeat, but to marry up those qualities with with(sic) lyrics that are genuine and meaningful. Our hope is that these songs resonate with people and connect in a meaningful way. We've grown up a lot and we wanted this album to be a reflection of that."[6]

They supported the album by playing a series of shows in Australia, the United Kingdom and United States before returning to Australia for the group’s first headline tour in over three years commencing in August 2016.[4]

In April 2021, the album was re-released on limited edition transparent vinyl to celebrate its fifth year anniversary, which included two bonus tracks.[7] The album entered and peak on the ARIA charts at number 55.
