The Vaccines



The Vaccines are a new band from London formed last year.


So far they've only released two singles (Wreckin' Bar Ra Ra Ra and Post Break Up Sex) and they have another on the way.


But why am I telling you about a band that only has two records to their name?


Well, in this short time they've appeared on Later with Jools Holland. Been named 'Track of the day' by Q. They were 3rd in the BBC's sound of 2011. And they've been nominated for Best New Band of 2011 by MTV.


Plus, they've just announced they are supporting Arcade Fire for their Hyde Park gig in the summer.


'Post Break Up Sex' has a Ramones sound to it - but until they release their album it will be difficult to tell what 'style' they have.


I like it and think they could go on to great things. So remember, when they're hugely successful, don't forget where you heard about them first.


(Or, if they turn out to be another bunch of chancers whose success goes to their heads and ultimately ends up, up their noses. Pretend we never mention it.)


You can hear the single here:
