The Vines to Return

Australian band the Vines have completed a new album which is due for release some time next year. They disappeared from the lime light when their singer Craig Nicholls was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. Apparently the new album is ‘edgier and wilder’ claims producer Wayne Connerly although their albums are fairy unruly as it is. I only really got into the Vines this year because when they first came out I thought they were just repeats of Grinspoon and Jebediah which I find fairly boring (no offense to listeners of these bands). But then I actually started listening to them and I was pretty impressed.

It sounded like they were trying to create that great sixties psychedelic vibe and then mixing it with grunge, plus doing it well. They had great creativity which I find so many Australian bands now days lack. With two good albums behind their belt we should expect something good. Something hopefully apart from all the other boring droning Australian crap.

Jet also has a new album due for March next year.
