The Vaccines are looking to release a new EP of songs recorded in LA earlier this year, according to frontman Justin Young.

The prolific band released their second album ‘Come Of Age’ in 2012, having released their debut the year before. They headed to Los Angeles in March to lay down “a few” new songs. Speaking to NME in this week’s issue, on newsstands now, Young admits he does not know what will become of the the “different” sounding songs, but he is hopeful fans will be able to buy them soon.

“We recorded a few songs in LA last month with John Hill and Rich Costey, and we’re just working out what to do with them,” says Young. “They feel like a bridge to something else so I guess they’ll be an EP, but I guess there is a small chance they might be the start of album three, because I feel very creative at the moment. They feel quite different so it’s exciting. We’re trying a lot of things for the first time.”

The Vaccines have shared 10 rare and unheard tracks on a covermount CD free with this week’s issue of NME.
