Vaccines, What did you Expect from the Vaccines?, Sony, Columbia


The Vaccines stormed North American shores with a press kit touting these Brit lads as the next big thing in rock.Thealbum launches in with a catchy opening blast of punk-rock (clocking in at 1:22) “Wrecking Ball” which evokes a young Ramones. As a while, this is a decent album from a band that wears its influences proudly on its sleeve. Unfortunately after lead singer Justin Young underwent a 3rd operation on his throat, the band had to scrap a slew of its tour dates. This is a solid foundation to establish, but there aren’t any wheels being reinvented here.
