Come of Age by Vaccines

Come of Age, the Vaccines' second album, landed on 3 September 2012, hard on the heels of a debut that had been the UK's best-selling first album of 2011, and it went to number one at home. Ethan Johns produced, and the West London four-piece, Justin Hayward-Young singing and playing guitar, Freddie Cowan on guitar, Árni Árnason on bass and Pete Robertson on drums, sound bigger and a little more grown up without losing the quick-fire rush.
Hayward-Young pointed to Gene Clark's No Other, Big Star's #1 Record and the Clash's "Spanish Bombs" as the records in his head while he wrote, and you can hear it: jangle and heartache poking through the garage-pop crunch. Even the sleeve plays with identity, four androgynous teenage girls standing in for the four members.
