The Vines are an Australian alternative rock band originally formed as Rishikesh in 1994 in Sydney. They play a musical hybrid of 1960s garage rock and 1990s alternative music. The line-up currently consists of vocalist and lead guitarist Craig Nicholls, the band's only constant member.
They appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone in October 2002 (the first Australian band to do so since Men at Work in 1983) with the words "Rock is Back: meet the Vines" boldly emblazoned underneath.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Dm Allie was a girl I knew C Took my heart and tore it in two G There are things I couldn't say FC There are times I feel ashamed Dm Marriage was a thing we had C Hurt so much that it made me mad G Living off of coke and brew FC So much time to sit and lose
G You say you want a reason AbC Why I belong to you G You wear the robe of season AbC They tell you where to move
Dm Back there she walked out the door C Cried so much on the kitchen floor G Wishing I could have her back FC Feeling like a heart attack
G You say you want a reason AbC Why I belong to you G You wear the robe of season AbC They tell you where to move
Dm Year later on the telephone C Record deal and a movie role G Telling me it's all okay FC Wants to meet and speak again
