Performer Notes

The Vaccines' debut What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? bears the air of studied affectation, the bandmembers splicing their favorite record collection together into a cool droning pulse. The album certainly has style to spare, pasted together from familiar elements stretching from Arctic Monkeys to the Smiths and the Jesus and Mary Chain. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone (p.76) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] debut full of surf-punk guitars....There's a lovably unspoiled quality to the Vaccines..."

Spin (p.106) - "[T]his London foursome draws on the Jesus & Mary Chain tradition of sweet early '60s pop'n'roll married to sour punk noise..."

Paste (magazine) - "[A] collection of songs emerging as slightly kitschy, largely catchy and entirely enjoyable."

Uncut (magazine) (p.84) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Wetsuit' has the tumbling undertow of vintage REM and 'Lack Of Understanding' is a great big swoon. Immediate and impressive."
