Combat Sports — The Vaccines

Released in 2018, Combat Sports keeps the volume high and the hooks sharp. The band focused on creating infectious, melodic tracks, stripping away any extra experimental elements to favor pure, guitar-driven energy.

This collection emphasizes a lean production style that highlights the band's penchant for classic indie rock tropes. There is a sense of genuine fun present in these recordings, as the group prioritizes songs that are designed to be shouted back by an audience in a sweaty club setting.
