“We always talk about breaking down the barriers between the band and the fans. We like sharing music with them, meeting them, interacting with them, as most bands do. So this felt like the ultimate interaction. Instagram was suggested to give photos taken on people’s phone a nice warm feel.”
– Justin Young, lead singer


If you’ve got an iPhone, you’re most likely familiar with Instagram. And if you don’t, you probably wish you could use it. Indie rockers The Vaccines put the popular photo-editing software to good use in their new music festival-themed video for “Wetsuit.” The band asked fans to tag instagram photos of themselves at festivals wtih #vaccinesvideo. They received nearly 3,000 photos and almost 15,000 likes on Instagram in just a few days.

Great concept, what do you think of the video? If you’ve got Instagram, follow me jamarcus
