a short bio, for more…..http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-vaselines-mn0000575379
Conventional wisdom dictates that the Vaselines might have been relegated to footnote status were it not for Nirvana‘s Kurt Cobain, who regularly cited the little-known Scottish quartet’s influence in interviews with the music press. Cobain‘s gospel-spreading no doubt accelerated their rise to cult sainthood, but truth be told, the Vaselines would have gotten there sooner or later on their own accord. Lewd but naïve and abrasive yet tender, the band’s shambling, primitivist squall remains a perfect distillation of pop at its most guileless and euphoric.
