UK rockers, The Vaccines, are coming to The Fine Line on October 10. Tickets are going fast. Given that previous tours have filled the Mainroom, bringing them into this more intimate environment should be a real treat. Tickets can be found HERE.
Combat Sports is the sound of The Vaccines being The Vaccines. Their fourth album is the sound of one of the defining British rock and roll bands of their generation at full throttle, setting aside pop experiments and concentrating on what caused the rabid excitement at their arrival in 2010. Combat Sports is a record of guitars, of brevity, of speed, of breathless excitement. “We rediscovered who we were and what kind of band we wanted to be,” says singer, songwriter and rhythm guitarist Justin Young. “We wanted to make a record to solidify that in our minds, and the minds of other people. We wanted to make the best record we’ve ever made.”
From pure Vaccines rock and roll (Put It on a T-Shirt, I Can’t Quit, Surfing In The Sky) through to powerpop (Out in the Street, which was inspired by Big Star, and Take It Easy, which came from listening to Dwight Tilley and Tom Petty) Combat Sports a record that defiantly reasserts the Vaccines’ case to be one of the great English rock bands of their time.
Singer/songwriter Jesse Jo Young will be in support. She launched her own record label back in 2017 and has worked under the guidance of the likes of Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols and Duff Kagen of Guns n Roses.
