Following a trip to the SXSW arts conference, the band then released its debut album What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? on 14 March 2011 through Columbia Records , to generally positive reviews. Reflecting on the album’s ten-year anniversary, Justin Young told Atwood Magazine he and the band were “petrified of not being able to capture the energy” they were looking for: “I remember at the time being like, ‘ This doesn’t sound particularly aggressive ‘ or ‘ It doesn’t sound lo-fi enough for my tastes .’ Now I listen back and I’m like ” Whoa! ” I think it probably was, and I’m like “Wow. That’s crazy that these songs got played on the radio.”
