The band's debut album, What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?, which was released in March of this year, was recently certified gold in the U.K. having sold in excess of 100,000 copies.
Currently in the U.S. on tour with the Arctic Monkeys, where Lyle Preslar, formerly of Minor Threat, joined them on stage in NYC, the band made their U.S. network television debut on the Late Show with David Letterman on May 23rd.
The past 6 months have seen them perform as part of the NME's Awards Tour in February, play their first U.K. headline tour, culminating in 2 rapturous sold-out shows at London's Electric Ballroom in April, appear at the SxSW festival in March and sell out both the Bowery Ballroom in New York and Spaceland in L.A. on their first trip to the States in January.
