The Vaccines

I was introduced to the band The Vaccines by my dad a couple of weeks a go; he said he heard them on the radio and they played a couple of tracks as well as being interviewed. He explained how The Vaccines told of their influences being bands like The Cure and The Clash, and he could tell because they sounded great! I think this will be a good band to look into because someone of my target audience has shown a keen interest in them.



So far I have only put research into old punk bands, but as my teacher pointed out, I also need to look into post punk bands to get a full idea of what to put in my magazine.

The Vaccines are a four piece band based in London and formed in 2010. They've started of this year with brilliant success, by being confirmed as third place in the BBC's Sound of 2011 poll. As well as this they've also been nominated for 'Brand new for 2011' at the MTV Awards. The band have been compared to American rock band who were big during the punk era, The Ramones. The Vaccines debut album 'What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?' is due to be released on the 21st March 2011- an album my dad and I are very much looking forward to listening too!
