This is a very special Music Monday (so special that it's not even Monday in Korea anymore) dedicated to Mr. Beaver who has left us in the Land of the Morning Calm to seek out new adventures in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Connor introduced to me the wonderful band, The Vaccines, and we had the opportunity to see them live in Seoul at the Super!Sonic music festival AND we got to meet them. It was amazing.
Best buddies.
The Vaccines are a indie rock group from London, who remind me of The Strokes and a bit of The Walkmen. Their debut album "What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?" was released in late 2010 with positive reviews. One of my favorites is Wetsuit, a nostalgic song about being young and carefree. The lyrics in the song, for example "We all got old at breakneck speed, slow it down, go easy on me" remind me of Fun's We Are Young in the sense that it's a feel good song about youth.
I can't pick one favorite song from album, because they are all great. The Vaccines' lyrics are quite relatable, the songs are danceable with quick guitar pop and accelerated drums. I will leave you with Norgaard, a slightly creepy, upbeat, energetic 100 second song that will leave you grooving in your seat.
