The Vaccines - All In White [Song Review]

Click here or read below for my review of the latest single by The Vaccines. It was published on Pure Grain Audio. 

Rating: 9.5 / 10

Sometimes us British can become a little excitable over homegrown bands and The Vaccines can probably be placed in this category. Their debut album What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? was a slight let down, but nevertheless a decent effort.

Amongst the typical bouncy British indie pop, is "All In White", undoubtedly the gem of the album. A thumping, but measured bass riff intertwined with a haunting keyboard builds up into a quite exhilarating climax, alongside a piercing electric guitar and Justin Young's booming voice. The lyrics, unlike the surrounding songs, are emotional and mature, delivered in Young's fantastically deep tone.

"All In White" proves that the hype surrounding The Vaccines is not as ridiculous as it first appears, but the band must be more consistent with material of similar quality if they are to hit the real big time.
