The Vaccines

The other day, I stood up in front of all my friends and confessed my love for punk. It was Shakespeare worthy, but took my friends by suprise since I'm sort of notorious for my love of indie-folk classics. You know, the usual. Mumford & Sons, Bombay Bicycle Club, Stornaway, ect. Then I found Thee Oh Sees, a classic mix of punk and garage band rock. I feel in love.
Now, I'm falling head over heels for the British band The Vaccines. The lead singers intoxicating voice, the loud guitar nearly over powering his, I repeat, intoxicating voice. It's like a dream. My favorite of their songs happens to be "Wreckin' Bar (Ra Ra Ra)", and it seems I'm not the only one. Apparently, the band is becoming quite the catch in the U.K.
Anyway, the band seems to keep cool throughout the songs, unlike many punk bands who quickly turn into loud, ear plug worthy disasters. Nylon said it perfectly (how predictable...a Nylon reference!) "...the mannered posturing of the Strokes and the raw urgency of the Ramones." I couldn't have said it better myself.

Take a listen, and tell me what you think: Wreckin' Bar (Ra Ra Ra)- The Vaccines
Er...mind the picture.
