The Vaccines
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Combining infectious melodies and stadium-ready hooks, the Vaccines have been fixtures of London's indie rock scene in 2011 since the release of their platinum-selling debut album, What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? The festival favorites continued to find success both at home and abroad with subsequent efforts Come of Age, English Graffiti, Combat Sports, Back in Love City, and Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations.
The Vaccines formed in 2010 around the talents of Justin Young (vocals, guitar), Árni Arnason (bass), Freddie Cowan (guitar), and Pete Robertson (drums). Evoking names like the Strokes, Jesus and Mary Chain, and the Ramones, they released their debut single, "Post Break-Up Sex," on Columbia Records in February 2011, in anticipation of a full-length studio album later in the year. That debut, What Did You Expect from the Vaccines?, appeared in the U.K. that March, showing up on North American shores two months later. The LP would eventually go platinum and help to establish the Vaccines as one of England's most formidable modern rock bands. Released in 2012, Come of Age, the group's sophomore outing, was produced by Ethan Johns and became their first album to reach number one on the U.K. charts.
