From the album What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? (2011)
“Wetsuit” by Vaccines appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2012. It was first released in 2011 on the album What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?. Its best result is #28 on the Studio Brussel De Eindafrekening 2012. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #368 alternative song of 2012.
"Wetsuit" first surfaced in March 2011 on What Did You Expect from the Vaccines?, the English indie rockers' debut for Columbia, and by December it had been promoted to single duty, paired with "Tiger Blood" as a British download and on a seven-inch pressed in a run of only 500. Justin Hayward-Young sings it, Arni Arnason plays bass and Pete Robertson drums, and those three share the writing credit with Freddie Cowan. Dan Grech-Marguerat produced and Michael Brauer mixed.
The video got out ahead of the single, landing on YouTube that October, and it claimed a small place in pop history as the first music video anywhere to be crowdsourced through Instagram. The single itself entered the UK chart way down at 164, a modest showing, though the song had been sitting on the album since March.
