The Vaccines

[sambosa75]

Hi all,

 

Has anyone heard the new album from the Vaccines yet?

 

The drummer Pete is a mate of mine. A fellow Chandlers Ford boy.

 

Much love.

they get mentions on Radio 1 quite a lot.......didn't realise they were local boys....will take more notice of their music now..

They arent, just Pete. He's been living up in London for a few years as a session drummer. He's a good lad though. Very grounded. He went to Thornden.

Heard their song 'Do you Wanna' (think that's what it's called anyway) and thought it was good.

[manji]

Over-hyped,mediocre and derivative.

Justin the singer was at Brock College at the same time as me.

A little rushed, but here's my take: http://luminousplectrum.blogspot.com/2011/03/album-review-vaccines-what-did-you.html

The Mrs bought me the album yesterday. I put it on whilst I was cooking dinner. I've got to say I really liked it. Short, catchy tunes. Not self-indulgent and probably the shortest album I own at just over 30 mins long but it does kind of leave you wanting to hear what else they've got which can only be a good thing when they release their 2nd album.

 

As for manji's comment, is it their fault they've been over-hyped? The are mediocre by who's standards? As for derivative, I implore you to tell me of a band breaking out now that arent "derivative" in one form or another.
