The Vines

Musical Group

Australian rock band from Sydney led by Craig Nicholls, known for blending 1960s psychedelia and 1990s grunge. Debut Highly Evolved (2002) spawned singles such as "Get Free" and "Outtathaway!". Reviews cite recurring comparisons to Nirvana and the Beatles.

Frontman Craig Nicholls has been publicly reported to have been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome (mentioned in multiple reviews). The band is frequently described as combining sixties-tinged psychedelia with grunge/garage rock influences.

DeBaser's reviews of The Vines show a divided reception: debut Highly Evolved is often praised, later albums receive mixed-to-critical takes. Reviewers repeatedly compare the band to Nirvana and the Beatles and note recurring stylistic formulas. Craig Nicholls' mental health (Asperger's) is frequently mentioned in context. Some later work (In Miracle Land) is seen as a modest comeback.

For:Fans of garage/alternative/indie rock, readers interested in 90s grunge-influenced bands and music criticism.

The second effort by Craig Nicholls' Aussie Rock Band is full of musical clichés and lacking in ideas.
