Combat Sports

The Vaccines

A high-octane return to guitar-driven basics. Melodic 1960s pop sensibilities collide with gritty garage rock energy and stadium-sized choruses.

It sounds like the band finally stopped overthinking and started swinging again.

A high-velocity collision of romantic frustration and adrenaline-fueled rock and roll.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, jagged guitar riff that kicks off I Can't Quit, instantly signaling the band's return to high-velocity rock.
The shimmering, synth-touched bridge of Your Love Is My Favourite Band where the garage grit softens into pure power-pop bliss.
The frantic, sub-three-minute sprint of Surfing in the Sky that captures the raw spirit of their early club shows.
