The Vaccines are most certainly a band to watch in 2011. After the incredibly strong first demo of “If You Wanna”, the British band quickly jumped on my ranks for favorite new acts. The band quickly established themselves as cool confident rockers. They may just be this decades The Strokes.
They are currently writing their debut album, which is set for a release in the first half of 2011. On November 29th, their first official single will drop via Marshall Teller Records. It’s going to be a double A-sided single featuring “Wreckin’ Bar (Ra Ra Ra)” & “Blow It Up”. I’m not surprised that I’m completely blown away by these two great songs.
“Wreckin’ Bar (Ra Ra Ra)” is less than a minute and a half long. It packs tons of reverb filled guitar riffs, packed down with sun filled melodies. Try not to smile to the song as you keep it on repeat. “Blow It Up” is blessed with guitar riffs that echo throughout space and time, giving you feelings of warmth, inspiration, and joy.
The Vaccines make technically great guitar rock that will hook you immediately. Their songs also stir up many emotions, something that rock and roll is in desperate need of. The Vaccines may be our new saviors of rock and roll.
