Short, sweet and straight to the point. The hotly tipped Londoners, The Vaccines attempt to rekindle the spirit of the three chord wonder. The relentless assault from this four piece clocks in at less than one minute thirty seconds. Incorporating the catchy guitar riffs reminiscent of The Ramones, the newcomers’ first single Wreckin’ Bar (Ra Ra Ra) rides on a wave of uninterrupted energy, reinforced by a raw guitar and vocal sound bathed in reverb for that quintessential live punk sound. Offering only their demo ‘If You Wanna’ in way of comparison it quickly becomes apparent that infectious, foot stomping rock’n’roll is alive and well.
