THE BAND: Justin Young and his friends at The Vaccines cemented their place as indie superstars with What Did You Expect From The Vaccines, a record filled with Ramones influenced 2-minute pop songs. Their propensity for writing hits was evident once again on follow-up Come Of Age and now the indie rockers are ready to release their third effort.
THE SOUND: English Graffiti was recorded by the band in New York and the group have stated that this album will be ‘more like a rock record than an indie record’ and the fruits of their labour are already on display with an increased amount of stage effects, lighting effects and even drum solos making their way into the bands set. ‘Dream Lover’ is an embodiment of this transformation, a massive song with a massive riff and one that the band’s fans are certainly not going to be disappointed with.
THE VIDEO: An allusion to some retro-futuristic fantasy upon a spaceship which sees each of the band picked off one by one until Justin finds his elusive “Dream Lover”.
