Our Take

In their debut album "What Did You Expect From The Vaccines," these British rockers prove that sometimes, simplicity is key. With catchy hooks, infectious riffs, and a healthy dose of post-punk swagger, The Vaccines deliver a solid set of tunes that are sure to get stuck in your head for days.

From the energetic opener "Wreckin' Bar (Ra Ra Ra)" to the wistful ballad "All in White," the band effortlessly weaves together a range of influences, from the Strokes to the Ramones. Lead singer Justin Young's raw vocals add a sense of urgency to tracks like "Post Break-Up Sex" and "If You Wanna," while his introspective lyrics touch on themes of love, longing, and youthful rebellion.

While the album's straightforward approach may lack some of the innovation and experimentation seen in other indie releases, there's no denying the sheer fun and excitement that The Vaccines bring to the table. With a sound that harks back to the glory days of British guitar bands, "What Did You Expect From The Vaccines" is a refreshing reminder that sometimes, all you need is a killer riff and a killer chorus to make a great record.

So, if you're in the mood for some no-frills, unapologetically catchy rock 'n' roll, look no further than The Vaccines. With this debut, they've proven that they're a force to be reckoned with in the crowded indie scene. Get ready to have these tunes on repeat – you won't be disappointed.
