A band that started with sharp, short songs and kept evolving through the 2010s.
For the early rush, 'Post Break-Up Sex' still hits. If you want their later, weirder side, give 'Aftershave Ocean' a spin.
They arrived in 2010 with a sound that felt like a jolt, quick, catchy, and a little ragged. Songs like 'I Always Knew' and 'Wreckin' Bar (Ra Ra Ra)' from their debut landed with a straightforward energy that cut through. Over the years, they've tried on different styles, from the psychedelic hints on 'English Graffiti' to the leaner rock of 'Combat Sports,' but that core punch never fully left.
The Vaccines formed in London in 2010 and released their debut album 'What Did You Expect from The Vaccines?' the next year. They followed with 'Come of Age' in 2012, then later albums like 'English Graffiti' and 'Combat Sports' showed them experimenting before 2021's 'Back in Love City.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
