The Vines gained significant recognition in 2002, appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone in September 2002 with the words “Rock is Back: Meet the Vines” boldly emblazoned underneath. Referred to as the ‘The’ bands, the Strokes , the Hives , the White Stripes , and the Vines combined “old fashioned punk and adrenaline fuelled riffs” to be ushered in at the beginning of 2002 as the “saviors of rock”.
