After a relatively quiet couple of years, it鈥檚 a pleasure to welcome The Vaccines back to Big Weekend, having graduated from the In New Music We Trust stages of 2011 and 2012 to the main stage in 2013. And it鈥檚 all thanks to Zane Lowe, who was an early champion of their YouTube demo of If You Wanna, crowning it and subsequent Vaccines tracks the Hottest Record In the World. That title started to become more and more prophetic as their popularity began to build and spiral outwards across two albums of doo-wop infused indie rock.
The band recently finished work on their third album, English Graffiti, which was recorded with widescreen producer Dave Fridmann (Tame Impala, Flaming Lips). Naturally the first person to hear a finished song was Zane, who was also the first to air the ramalama drama of Handsome back in January. And equally naturally, he dubbed it Hottest Record in the World. Because it was.
