The Vaccines are an alternative indie rock band, who are based in Britain. They rose to prominence in late 2010 and throughout 2011, becoming one of the most popular new rock bands. Their debut album was a success, both critically and commercially, and they released five singles as part of the album. The majority of their singles have conventional indie music videos, and the songs are pretty much always short, between 1 and 3 minutes long.
Their videos contain a large amount of performance, mixed in with some narrative. Their song "Post Break-Up Sex" is heavily narrative based, the music video accompanying it mixes performance with storyline.
Most of their other videos are fairly abstract and performance based. Their single Wreckin' Bar is done entirely through the view of a spinning golden ball, with shots of the band playing in the reflection of the ball. This is a fairly different and unique video, but it does keep to indie rock conventions.
