In an era where The Ramones no longer churn out energetic, four-chord pop-punk hits with factory precision, it’s nice to know that garage rock revivalists The Vaccines are trying to fill that void. Last night, the London outfit brought their colorful sound to Jimmy Kimmel Live! to play “If You Wanna”, off their debut release What Did You Expect From the Vaccines? The performance was loud, catchy, and saturated in bright lights — you know, everything a good rock ‘n’ roll show should be. Catch the replay above.
You can also catch The Vaccines on their upcoming North American with Tennis, set to launch September 9th in Vancouver. Check out all of the band’s confirmed tour dates below.
