The indie-rockers meteoric rise continues as they deliver a storming set to a sold-out Apollo

The Vaccines are no cure to the musical stagnation in the indie scene.

It’s that time of year again.

They may not be re-inventing the wheel but The Vaccines have managed to create their own distinctive sound, popular with so many.

The Vaccines have been tipped to be one of the biggest bands this year – even featuring in the BBC’s Sound of 2011 – yet it has been hard not to be sceptical of their success due to the contacts they apparently have at their disposal. The vocalist Justin Young used to be flatmates with Marcus Mumford and the guitarist, Freddie Cowan, is the younger brother of Tom from the Horrors, which could suggest that they have the potential to be another over-hyped pop outfit. However, What Did You Expect From the Vaccines? suggests that they also have the talent to compliment their address book.
