Retrospection is a little series of articles we started on Voilà! quite a bit ago. The idea behind the series is to revisit some old, but still amazing, songs that some of us may have forgotten over the years. And aren't there loads of them! Where to even begin with choosing what band and what songs to feature?
The fact of the matter is, rock music doesn't die. In fact, if you play it loud enough, it'll either jog your memory with the sonic vibrations or get your attention back, reminding you how amazing the song was. As far as contemporary rock music, you can't really go wrong with The Vines, and their modern hybrid of 60s punk and 90s grunge. The Australian collective has been busy working on their rumoured 5th album, which has apparently exited the pre-production stage as of this month.
But while the rock experts prepare to woo us with yet another fabulous album, let's reminisce on some old times. Particularly, on this occasion, dream back if you will to the year 2002. A simpler time, to be true. But it was the year that saw the release of The Vine's first major record debut, Highly Evolved. Fittingly, this performance by The Vines is of the self titled song, along with a blending into their other big hit - "Get Free" - was filmed on the popular late-night Australian talk show Rove. To save you the raw fury that is The Vines, I won't go any further into this truly epic performance. But do please enjoy.

God I miss Rove, he ended his show last year!
Oh and The Vines, well of course, they're just superb.
