The Vaccines release demos for 10th anniversary of debut

The Vaccines have released ten demos as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations for their debut album, ‘What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?’

First released on March 11, 2011, the album entered the UK Albums Chart at Number Four and spawned six singles: ‘Wreckin’ Bar (Ra Ra Ra)’, ‘Post Break-Up Sex’, ‘If You Wanna’, ‘All In White’, ‘Nørgaard’ and ‘Wetsuit’.

The demos, which you can listen to below, feature stripped-back version of breakthrough hit ‘If You Wanna’, a low-fi, muffled early recording of ‘Post Break Up Sex’ and a raw recording of ‘Nørgaard’.

Back in December, The Vaccines confirmed that they have finished mixing their fifth album, the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Combat Sports’. Last month, they shared an update on it, calling it the best record they’ve ever made.

“I really truly believe it’s the best record we’ve ever made,” frontman Justin Young told Rock Neto radio station in a recent interview. “I think for a long time we’ve maybe threatened to make a record that’s good but we haven’t quite managed it.

“It’s heavier in places, but it’s poppier in others, it’s a lot more kind of, I think well rounded like sonically and musically and lyrically. I don’t know I think it’s such a great record.”

Earlier this month, The Vaccines released a covers EP called ‘Cosy Karaoke, Vol.1’.
