The Vines unleash new single

The first single from The Vines' upcoming album is titled He's A Rocker.

The track is laced with the same energy that hasn't really been seen too much since their thrilling debut. It's thudding opening baseline, the catchy chorus and harmonised moments come together nicely. It's exactly the territory that what we wanted the Sydney band to return to. Comeback?

The single is officially released on June 28.

At the moment, the new album is still untitled, but word around the place is that it will be called Brain Dead. It's scheduled to be released on July 12. There is some info, including the unconfirmed track listing, on this Wikipedia page.

Here is a video of the new song being performed live at the Australian MTV Video Music Awards last Saturday night:
