The Vaccines announce second album details

This morning, The Vaccines revealed title and artwork for their sophomore album. It is called The Vaccines Come Of Age and it will be out on September 3. Now they added additional information.


In an interview with NME, singer of the band Justin Young said:

"I don't think there's any danger of us making the same record twice. But I think anything people found attractive about us the first time round has been retained. I'm really confident we've got the balance right... I wanted to look inwards with this record. Honesty goes a long way in music and it's therapeutic. There's a lot about the way I'm feeling. One minute you're a shit-kicking 21-year-old and the next you're playing a song you've written in front of 20,000 people chanting your name. But that's tongue-in-cheek too, it's not me taking myself completely seriously."

The record was produced by Ethan Johns, who previously worked with Kings Of Leon, Laura Marling and Tom Jones.

Watch interview with Billy Corgan

The Smashing Pumpkins just released their anticipated new record Oceania, which is part of their 44-song project Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. I don't really get this project and what the point of it is. However, I really do like Oceania. I feel like they are finally back and still relevant in today's music. The album has tracks reminding old Smashing Pumpkins, but it also has tracks with their new sound.

Frontman Billy Corgan recently did an interview with Fuse. The interview has so far 4 parts (more parts may be coming). First part focuses on Oceania and Kaleidyscope project, second part focuses on the album and whether it is dead, third part focuses on Billy's love for wrestling and the last part focuses on aging in music industry. You can now watch all four parts below.
