The Vines — Melodia

By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) April 6, 2009 4:41 pm
The Vines should have imploded years ago by all rights. The Aussie group were thrust into the spotlight in 2002 after the music industry rediscovered rock. But fickle tastes and frontman Craig Nicholls' erratic behaviour due to Asperger's syndrome scuttled chances for long-term success in North America. So it's pleasantly surprising to find the...

The Vines — Vision Valley

in
By Matt Semansky (CHARTattack) April 4, 2006 11:55 am
The Vines have all the makings of a rock 'n' roll comeback story. This record comes on the heels of tepid reviews for their sophomore release, Winning Days, the departure of bassist Patrick Matthews and singer-songwriter Craig Nicholls being diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. The only part that's missing is the kick-ass album announcing their...

The Vines — Winning Days

in
By Joanne Huffa (CHARTattack) March 23, 2004 3:05 pm
In the early-to mid-’90s, few bands excited me more than Redd Kross. Their candy floss vocals and bubblegum hooks snagged me hard. Sure their elephant flares verged on the cartoonish, but that added to their appeal. Nowadays, my tastes are pretty much the same as a decade ago, although my patience wears thin sooner. Enter The Vines, whose...

Guess what? The Vines aren't the new Nirvana or the next Beatles. Now that we've all realized this about six years later, can we please stop throwing these tags on every up-and-coming buzz band? The hype nearly killed a mediocre band, who have released yet another mediocre album here. For God's sake, NME even apologized for their behaviour....

Vines Singer Suffers Mental Illness Setback

in
By CHARTattack Staff November 18, 2008 1:18 pm
The Vines have been forced to cancel festival appearances in their native Australia and tour dates in Japan due to singer/guitarist Craig Nicholls' mental health problems. Nicholls suffers from Asperger's syndrome, an acute form of autism that had prevented the band from playing live for a period before they returned to the stage in 2006. "...

By Ciara McCann (CHARTattack) June 25, 2008 4:00 pm
The Vines have survived break-ups, breakdowns, fisticuffs, label changes, exhaustive tours and frontman Craig Nicholls suffering from Asperger Syndrome over the past nine years. They'll further prove their resiliency with the July 22 Ivy League Records release of their fourth album, Melodia. Melodia was recorded in Los Angeles with producer...

New Releases: Flaming Lips And Morrissey Duke It Out

in
By CHARTattack Staff April 3, 2006 6:00 pm
This Tuesday is one of the year's biggest release dates, so we're not even going to waste time with a proper intro. Getting straight to the point, the new Flaming Lips album has been delayed for more than a year, but it's finally hitting store shelves this week. After two records scored mostly with synthesizers, the guitars are back on At War...

The Vines Grow Into Vision Valley

in
By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) February 22, 2006 7:00 pm
The Vines' new album, out April 4 on Capitol, now has a name, a confirmed track list and an unofficial video with a Jack White look-a-like. Vision Valley, the screaming Aussies' follow-up to 2004's Winning Days, was produced by Wayne Connolly in Sydney. As reported earlier by ChartAttack, the album includes a country tune, some space rock...
