The Vaccines are one of the latest UK sensations. Their debut LP What Did You Expect From The Vaccines has kind of good title. Because really, what did you expect from The Vaccines?
Well, they are another british band sounding very similar to many bands (Ramones, Interpol, Pixies, Joy Division, etc). However, is it really bad to sound like other bands? I mean, they basically took all the good stuff from these bands a made from it their sound. And I like their sound even though it is not quite unique.
The Vaccines remind you many bands you love, but I have to admit these guys' music has more guts than any other band. First song "Ra Ra Ra" is just so cool even though it may remind you The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop". Other songs such as "If You Wanna", "Wetsuit" or "Post-breakup Sex" may feel kind of "borrowed", but they're still awesome and I still enjoy listening to them.
We'll have to see what these guys bring us next, but this record is more than enjoyable to listen. I still like coming back to it.
