The Vaccines - Blow It Up

[JonnyMcCraine22]

Blow It Up is such a great song but if you like this you should search:

THE VINYLS-GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD

It only takes 3min and this band are definitely worth checking out!

[slappy113]

@JonnyMcCraine22 stop spamming the vaccines

[Aievuog95]

Blow it Up!!!

[esponchito]

me habian hablado maravillas de estos pero me suenan muy iguales a miles de bandas que ya existian pff ke lineal

[larren21]

In Argentina this guys are trendy... there´s no lack of understanding...

[JamesButler321]

doesnt matter what genre they are, either way they are incredible!

[TorrentialTick]

Seen them 3 times now...IOW festival,supporting The Arctics at the O2 and at Brixton academy...each time they blew me away! Why oh why do people go on about 'sounds like' all the time?don't get it!

Great band,great tunes...quality!

[TheKasabianLunatic]

@TorrentialTick Yeah I hate it when bands get compared to other bands. I saw them supporting Kasabian and they were great! Very catchy tunes.

[veryvicous]

why do we HAVE to pigeon hole them at all? They are beatly, they also remind me of the sheila divine, from boston. They are indie in spirit, bc they would never get airplay on mainstream radio, but much stranger things have happened. Nirvana.

[PunkRock131]

@veryvicous They've been on BBC Radio 1 loads of times.... Can't get more mainstream radio than that mate :L

[ColumRogers]

They are amazing, plain and simple. xx

[funcooldrew2]

@ColumRogers i know some guys dis on this band

[adamgergich96]

i cant tell.. are vaccines indie or mainstream????

[GamerComedy]

@adamgergich96 indie, by technicality.

[QueenLaRayne]

@adamgergich96 I would say indie ;)

[Xxnicoroxxx]

this music makes me so happy

[keysersproductions]

As a massive Beatles fanatic, they topped my most played on my itunes for as long as I can remember. Then along came the Vaccines. Backpacked all across America with your album on repeat, and now the tune "Blow It Up" (storming ahead with 174* plays) now sits comfortably number 1. Up front at Lollapoolza was pretty sweet too. Keep the good shit flowing lads!

[devvotimee]

blow blow blow joooobbbbsssss

[MadCracker93]

Seen these guys the other night, fantastic band i must say. I cant understand why people search for a band and without even listening to them automatically hate on them because there not what your "into", i thought we were past that era. if you really enjoy music then you will take into consideration on how hard it is to play an instrument, these guys are talented.

[soldat182]

The Very Beginning Sounds Like The Beginning of PIXIES -VELOURIA

[ProdigyPulsford]

going to watch them support Arctic monkeys in Cardiff soon! Cannot Wait!

[lukeyboy2312]

@ProdigyPulsford lucky shit!

[kinglorimer]

@ProdigyPulsford They were awesome, in Nottingham on friday! Well worth the wait, and the monkeys are fucking quality!

[ProdigyPulsford]

@kinglorimer watched them last night!! Amazing!! Vaccines got us well in the mood for arctic monkeys! it was immense!!

[emiliereynier]

I've seen them at Rock en seine this summer, and it was sooooo boring !

[cpgb12]

Justin Young is my favorite singer

[989Saher]

their best song so far,i love it.

[JimmyStew100]

Bloody brilliant song, though. Well, they both are.

[JimmyStew100]

Try listening to 'Whole Wide World' by Wreckless Eric and then this. Notice any similarities?

[penandpaperdreams]

my load blew and hit me square between the eyes - this band is amazing :)

[MrRichyREMIX]

Blow blow blow your Looaaaaddddddddd

[kingtrigger101]

FUCK THE INTELLECTUAL COMMENTS its a weekend not school day!

[theonlybabyshambler]

Just after the chorus, they are completely copying the middle 8 in "A Hard Days Night." There is a difference between influence (general sound of group) to copying (exact notes and melody.) Good song, but a rip off? Yes.

[ILikeToSleepwalk]

@theonlybabyshambler oh yes the middle 8, I see where you would say that, I agree that all music should never have melodies that have been used before, "scoff scoff scoff, yes the middle 8"

[TimeToReadMine]

addicted to vaccines.

[gemlouux0]

They were amazing at Leeds Festival. :) one of my favourite bands :) if only I didn't have a giant stood in front of me..

[Gleek09051998]

TheVaccines....What Gods

[chloeag321]

i love how easy the lyrics are to this song

[bjmsmagic]

what a song

[The300x300]

that guitarist is cool ..

[The300x300]

i think it's a danelectro, but i couldn't say what model.

[114Greg]

Please could someone tell me the make of the lead singers guitar?

I really want it!!!

[lucyqt]

saw them on tv preforming at reading festival .WISH I WAS THERE <3

[geezaweebrek]

@lucyqt Me too, wish I'd been to Reading or Leeds this year only to see them :\

[aliebi]

I heard this on Arabic MTV. I'm surprised no one has picked up on the reference to The Smiths "How soon is now" video.

I love this song. Nostalgic, simple, elegant.

(oh yeah someone asked how this sounds like the 80s. It totally does, it's clearly referencing Factory Records).

[siwangta]

Love this band very underrated!!!!!

[dfgdfgdfgfdfgdfg]

nothing better than the Queen's indie!!!

[stlheadake2]

Just found this accidentally. Love the sound. I might be showing my age, but they sound a lot like the mighty lemon drops....to me. I don't care WHO they 'copied' or were influenced by, I like it!

[asdfkzxcv21]

i love jay jay even if he goes by justin now

[amoko223]

cant get past the terrible vocals of this band, musicly good, vox crap

[danielaformoso]

This guys got me at the first song. I think they're pretty good. Loved them at Lolla.

[StorybookComa]

These are guys are real gents- met them at Lolla and got autographs and photos. Really ace act. 

[Jacobanko]

"I should have known better" by The Beatles...

[KennyHibee1875]

@Jacobanko what about it?

[94meganana]

loveloveloveeee

[kbr112494]

The opening guitar sounds like Sonic Youth. I like it!

[Perefourras000]

Just awesome

[sydneyandersonband]

LOVE the Vaccines!!!!!!!! I have never gotten to see them live, but I've seen tons of videos of these guys killin it to packed venues! I am so excited that they are playing at Lollapalooza this August 5th!!!

[goodtimesontoob]

When watching the Arctic Monkeys in LA, I was front row against the rail in between Jamie and Alex. I spotted the Vaccines hanging out by the bar enjoying the show. Biggest decision of my life, stay front row of Arctic Monkeys or meet the Vaccines. I should've met the Vaccines :(

Hippocratic oath= I swear by Apollo the healer, & take witness to all other gods that I will NEVER EVER hurt anyone in practice of medicine.. Now- where's that baby that came in 4 healthy baby visit?

(Also aborted fetal tissue, aluminum in witch's brew) English word "Pharmacy" comes from Greek "Pharmakeia means witchcraft, poison, sorcery. Things remain same.

[rutti0]

This a very good song!

[marwood03]

THE VACCINES TO HEADLINE GLASTONBURY IN 2013 SUPPORT THE YOUTUBE CAMPAIGN MY FRIEND REQESTING ME!

[LinnieYlvissia]

Heard this live in Hyde Park last Thursday, amazing!

[fede018]

pixies - my velouria?

[ToastGhost96]

This is worth 2 in the bush.

[Shamoo28]

Good shit man.

[XLittleMissAmazingX]

Seeing them in november :]

[ScottMcDonald27]

Seriously, people who waste time digging up songs that they are apparently 'copying' need to get a grip. They have no shame in admitting that they are influenced by bands of the past.

The Vaccines are a much welcomed breath of fresh air into a music scene that is seriously lacking right now. They are humble guys who have something totally different to say.

Brilliant job guys, I loved you's in Glasgow in April and I can't fucking wait to see you at T In The Park and finally Edinburgh in August.

[mynameismark25]

@ScottMcDonald27 No Age, Deerhunter, Fucked Up, Wavves, OFF!, Kurt Vile, Ariel Pink, Iceage, Lykke Li, Marina, Cave-In, Laura Marling. How is the music scene lacking again?

[ScottMcDonald27]

@mynameismark25 These aforementioned Indie - for want of a better term - bands will never reach the commercial heights of the likes of Lady Gaga or whoever. Question is, would they want to?

These 'underground' bands' music can be both liberating and the voice of a generation. Record labels are happy to fill the music scene full of commercial garbage because their artists are quite happy being told what to do and what to sing/perform because deep down they know they are shit.

Fuck modern music.

[SuperiFox]

@ScottMcDonald27 They're actually boring, and there's plenty of good music. It's not dying out mate, just look a little harder. ;)

[ScottMcDonald27]

@SuperiFox I have my favouries like most.

The Vaccines being one.

Sorry but there's only so much Kings Of Leon, Muse et al I can take. Now that is not only fake and regurgitated garbage... it is in fact also boring.

[SuperiFox]

@ScottMcDonald27 Oh god fuck those bands, i hate muse and kings of leon (imo, though, the vaccines belong with them)

[ScottMcDonald27]

@SuperiFox Having seen them live, they're anything but boring mate. Each to their own, but don't judge a band based only on their studio recordings. Many bands I don't like in the studio but love to hear live because of their charisma and the way their music can generate an atmosphere - The Libertines especially.

[Extraabsorbant]

@SuperiFox

Dude, do you really think any of us care what you like/don't like?

nope.

[SuperiFox]

@Extraabsorbant

Dude, cool :D

But seriously, don't be a douche... I'm allowed to comment on youtube comments last time i checked.

[SuperiFox]

@Extraabsorbant (IF YOU GENUINELY DON'T CARE, DON'T FUCKING COMMENT BACK)

[jimbooboo1]

Saw them at glastonbury on the other stage and John Peel tent, Brilliant on both occasions.

[NickDaSith2]

Saw them with the arctic monkeys in late may this year in Milwaukee. Amazing crowd, and time. I hope for the Vaccines to get more popular!

[PolyxeniM]

We loved you in Athens yesterday, thank you!

[lapersonamasraradees]

FUCK VEVO

[MegaCokamo]

80's 90's Britpop revive anyone? 

[noammanri]

@MegaCokamo mmm not like brit pop, is like the jesus and mary chain or something

[MegaCokamo]

@noammanri well thats my opinion. it reminds me of johnny cash and some 80 group combined

[noammanri]

@MegaCokamo yes!! exactly!

[wowjack1]

who went in this cos your going to see them with the arctic monkeys in October/November

[naataliexd]

whoop whop, gonna see them in Norway at Hovefestivalen in about a week :D

[lumyingluo]

nice short song :)

[meikokajix]

algun grupo que no suene a Joy Division! ? ??

[MartinArgg]

@meikokajix todos menos este

[MrRocketpower08]

they killed it last week!! keep on rocken vaccines

[Minusthedairsoft]

thumbs up if you just saw them with the arctic monkeys!!!!!!

holy crap that was a concert!

[conchita4all]

@Minusthedairsoft I Saw Them But It Wasn't A Month Ago...

[geekish1211]

@Minusthedairsoft It was the most magical concert iv ever been too :D

[IXconnorXI]

@Minusthedairsoft Thumbs up if you just saw them at READING!!

[lukeyboy2312]

@IXconnorXI does seeing them at leeds :L

[lukeyboy2312]

@lukeyboy2312 count

[nmg18ismuzik]

Loved their performance on Letterman!! one of the best new bands of the year so far. You guys should check out the 2 part feature Baeble music did on The Vaccines. It's pretty sweet :)

[dasheight]

If you're going to rip off another band so blatantly, try not to make it The Beatles, which everyone already knows - and try not to make it one of their most famous songs - and then insult them by it being BAD. Good grief.

[ZHammerUK]

I like this.

[wasabiinyourass]

yes...the cover of 'i should have known better"!!! XD

[phoney1313]

Jeffrey Lee Pierce sings "I Should Have Known Better" backed by Joy Division... I can dig it. ;)

[nosleeptillbodmin]

Not all the 80's was awful They sound a bit like the 80's when the 80's sounded a bit like this:

youtube.com/watch?v=7EgB__Yrat­E

[LoveIsNoise13]

Very Joy Divison esque video..big thumbs up for The Vaccines :)

[lyndsk2689]

LOVE THIS...can't wait fro the full album 5-31!

[LunnBass]

how the fuck does this sound like the 80s?

[pedroarp]

feel like the 80's but better!

[LunnBass]

@pedroarp no

[rogellone]

it sounds like" I should have known better " by Beatles . anyway the guy has great voice

[Fryersmuck]

Another great tune from this great English band.

This song was inspired by a good friend of the band who was in charge of blowing up all the balloons for the Christmas party.

His name was never to be forgotten after he was encouraged by the band to keep blowing for over ten hours.

He unfortunately had to pack in the cigarettes afterwards because he didnt have any blow left inside him.

He now dedicates his life to cremating roadkill that those crows havent yet eaten.

Bet thats made you cry.

[HagarHazem]

Maaaan I LOVE That Sooooooong Soooooooo Much

[nikkiXXXkikiulynne]

i think its so fuckin funny when people fight on youtube and try to talk about nonconformity and revolutions haha who cares if theres a few commercials and such just stfu and watch ur damn video haha

[crst88]

the drums ¡=?

[mybonesarecandy]

i think they sound good...even debra from blondie is a fan..so there

[Reint25]

@james92311 Because this reverb-sound is just very popular right now. The fun thing is that I can sound precisely the same way at home.

[dcollinse]

this band would have been good if they came out 5 years ago

[hidrofago]

It sounds like "I should have known better" (bealtles)

[Bananomon]

@peterhopqk rebellion, seriously?

[Bananomon]

@peterhopqk problem? it doesnt sound like rebellion, dude. its such a iconic track from arcade fire, nothing to do with this

[peterhopqk]

@Bananomon Yes dude, it sounds like rebellion. Same feel. The Beatles has nothing to do with this.

[Dereck89]

get a more original singer and this could be at least ok to listen to

[shaddiedown]

Sounds like Wreckless Eric (I'd go the whole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world, just to find her.........)

[stormQ]

Man.. Wouldn't wanna sing a-long to this while at the airport xD

[BlahLui]

get over vevo and listen to the fucking music, man.

[taila1976]

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfu­ckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck­fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfu­ckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck­fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfu­ckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck­fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfu­ckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck­fuckfuckfuckfuck vevo

[OnlineMeditation]

great sound come to Wolverhampton!

[gogolplex74]

Get AdBlock IDIOTS!!

[TheBlackJacksItalia]

these guys are so fake and sad.

[TheZoe402]

The Vaccines at Radio 1's Big Weekend...... Wow!

[LennonMorrissey]

loving how everyone seems to try and get thumbs up for hating vevo and ads etc. Just remember this: if these adverts were not on the site, then youtube would be chargin its users for the usage of the site. A few seconds of your life is not a lot to ask in return for free video viewing.

[psychomaji]

@LennonMorrissey No, youtube got greedy. They would easily make enough money selling the advert places to the right of the video that we don't have to watch. Instead they decided that they want more money so now show compulsory advertisments before most videos.

[LyricalWax]

@LennonMorrissey I don't think youtube would ever have gone to the paywall model.

[FrenchDoItBetter]

@LennonMorrissey You retarded, let me tell you VEVO is not about advertising. VEVO is about restricting video playing upon you geographical situation, mainly. Which is purely retarded as well in a virtual world with to borders.

[streeTkiDwannaBe]

I love the internet. I found out about these guys a while back because I randomly thought 'hey I wonder what the UK alt/indy scene is listening to' and these were one of the guys I found through blog sites. 

[PrettyGreenBeadyEye]

Just another bunch of cunt posh students with shit clothes. Nothing new here.

[Looby456]

cant wait until monday when i see u guys :)

[musicalsam123]

strokes, ramones & joy division...this one also sounds like rebellion by arcade fire to me

[franco212]

ma andatevene affanculo voi e i vaccines!

[potterwork]

am I at the eighties?

[greenjellybean87]

I love this song a ridiculous amount.

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

One of the best albums I've bought in ages!!!! So good :D

[boomsolo555]

The Inspiral Vaccines

[WhiteSleevedStu]

Sad to see so much negativity as the top rated comments :(

[parums]

After all the hype, I had to see what this band was actually like... they seem like just another copy of a copy of a copy of a band from a while back that was good. Imagine Interpol crossed with Strokes crossed with the Killers maybe with a twist of Hard-fi and other minor dull indie bands. I'm not a 'hater' but I am just bored with this mediocre genre of music... try listening to bands who have something to say or maybe even try a varied chord structure to really get the senses going.

[PokeyCola]

@parums

You've left out any suggestions though? I'd be interested to hear what they are.

(I had a big rant here but didn't have the space, fuck it, it was about originality and Modest Mouse, Grandaddy, Arcade Fire, others)

Oh, and did you REALLY mention Hard-Fi? lol dude come on, they're not quite that mediocre :p)

[Reint25]

@parums Do you got any good suggestions? Because I can't really remember any fantastic bands coming out after 2005 or so? And I agree, this is overhyped, nothing new and fucking bland.

[FarrellMusic]

The singer kind of reminds me of Paul Banks from Interpol

[OSV2536]

this is good.

their sex break up song sucks

[lyndsk2689]

LOVE THESE GUYS...the EP is on itunes, new album coming sooooooooon
