HMV Manchester Arndale- English Graffiti

 

Signing 26.06.2015

 

The Vaccines a band I first discovered at the tail end of 2010 due them getting quite a lot of airplay with the punky Ramones sound, selling out venues country wide , I first seen them play 'The Ritz' in 'Manchester' in 2011 and again in 2013 Brixton for Xfm's Xmas Gig although I couldn't stay for the full set .

 

Their debut album 'What Did You Expect ...' did extremely well at Festivals and seen them rise up through the ranks with kids and older punk fans across the country, signed to Columbia/Universal and under same management as our own 'White Lies' ('James Sandom' looks after both bands), second album 'Come Of age' saw much more of a Rock N Roll nod to the fifties with with 'Teenage Icon' referencing 'Frankie Avalon' and 'I Always Knew' with guitar riffs worthy of 'The Tornados' 60's E.Ps.

 

Today or rather Monday this week seen the new release of 'English Graffiti' the 3rd album, and I'm here today to meet and greet the band and hear the first play in full , the band are due in at 5.30pm and 'Justin' is the last to arrive,before they come out of the green room and they all sit down at the promotional table , and a line of people wait anxiously there are lots of people of all ages mainly 14-20+ but still a mixture of ages all here to meet the band.

 

I have only a limited amount of time to interview them as I go along so on the photos at times I forgot to turn and pose but I had a good chat with 'Freddie' who actually gave me advice about a venue he told me not to bring my phone because last time they got smashed, so I shall remember that if I get there at some point ;0), I told 'Justin' I liked the new material and that I'd seen them at the 'Ritz' and they are really excited to be touring for this album later in the year so go and see them as they will surely sell out again once the word gets around, below are a collection of photos from the Event.
