The Vaccines Biography

The Vaccines are an English indie rock band who formed in West London in 2010. The band's debut album What Did You Expect from The Vaccines? was released through Columbia Records on 14 March 2011 and reached #4 in the UK Album Chart, making it the best-selling debut album of 2011. The band initially drew comparisons to the likes of The Ramones, The Strokes, Interpol and The Jesus and Mary Chain. The band has explained that their influences, though, range from "'50s rock 'n' roll through to '80s American hardcore, and a lot of good pop music". They have played extensively, touring with and opening up for acts such as The Rolling Stones, The Stone Roses, Arctic Monkeys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse, Poliça, Smith Westerns, and Arcade Fire amongst others. Their second studio album Come of Age was released in the United Kingdom (UK) on 3 September 2012 and reached #1 on the UK Album Chart.
