Band Members:
Sounds Like: "3 1/2 stars...The brash four-piece uses irresistible snake-charmer bass lines to glue together Detroit scuzz, hook-y retro punk à la the Damned and shout-along glam choruses. Bad attitude never felt so good, dude." – Rolling Stone
"There are glimmers of everything from classic-rock guitar heroics to metal swagger in the swirl of ripped-jeans grooves on the Vacation's debut, Band From World War Zero." – SPIN
"Rail-thin front man Ben Tegel is a dervish, prancing amid of shower of sweat and beer. C'mon, Axl, you wish you wrote 'Destitute Prostitutes.'" – LA Times
"Sounding like '70s gutter-punks The Damned aligned with the boozy cockiness of Keith Richards, or Iggy Pop slapping his meaty cock across Marc Bolan's pasty face, The Vacation peddle a fine line in sassy, sleaze-sodden, dumb rock n' roll fun…savagely tossing forth shards of distorted guitar fury over hook-laden beat-pop, constructing a menagerie of musical wonder that you could dance, fuck or drink to." – NME
"…energetically scuffed-up tunes with proper hooks…as timeless as a black leather jacket, there'll always be a place for outfits like The Vacation." – Kerrang!
