The band have announced details of the release of a new single, I Always Knew through Columbia Records on Sunday November 11th 2012.
Released on download and 7", the single continues the theme of each band member writing a B-Side – this time drummer Pete Roberston contributes by writing and singing the B-side Make You Mine which was produced by Matt Boynton (Kurt Vile) at Vacation Island Studios in Brooklyn.
The single is taken from their 2nd album, The Vaccines Come Of Age, which made number 1 in the UK charts - it was one of the biggest selling number 1s of the year so far.
It follows their platinum selling, Brit nominated and NME award winning debut, What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? which was released in March 2011.
