The Vines Plot Party Metal Album For 2004

The Vines bassist Patrick Matthews tells NME.com the group have scrapped plans to release their second album this year, instead planning a 2004 release. “Some of the songs have a bit more of a Pavement feeling, something that never really came across much on the first record. Saying that, it’s much heavier now with Hamish [Rosser, drums] and Ryan [Griffiths, guitar] playing, there’s much more of a Van Halen influence,” Matthews said of the album. “At the end of the day, I feel that finally we’ve made our party metal record.”
