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. 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".
The Vines have been moderately successful in the Australian recording industry, winning an ARIA in 2002 for Breakthrough Artist and receiving nominations for six other awards in as many years. In 2003, their debut album Highly Evolved went double platinum in their home country of Australia, and since then the band has released six albums and a "Best-Of" compilation from their time at Capitol Records.
The band started to record their 5th album in February 2010. The album recording was completely finished in mid March, with mixing taking place in Sydney at the end of March and mastering taking place in early April. The album, "Future Primitve," was released in June 2011.

Gross Out
The Vines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
by The Vines
C'mon now let me feel the gross out ain't corruptin' you
Alone and trippin' out on acid agein' in your room
I feel so down
Time bring me round
C'mon now let me feel the gross out obvious and aloof
I know ya never had a faith in all that which ya knew
I feel so down
Time bring me round
C'mon now let me feel the gross out
C'mon I'll let ya feel the gross out
The Vines' Gross Out is a song that is difficult to interpret accurately. The lyrics can be interpreted in different ways by different people, but the most common interpretation is that the song is a call for people to let go and be free, to explore their dark side, and to do whatever makes them happy without caring about anyone else's opinion. The opening verse seems to suggest that the gross-out, which can be interpreted as the weirdest, darkest, and most bizarre side of a person, should be explored without limits. The second verse talks about being alone, tripping out on acid, and aging in a room, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for being trapped in a solitary and mundane life. The chorus, which is repeated twice, seems to suggest that there is hope in letting go of inhibitions and feeling the gross out.
The song has a high level of energy, and the music is fast-paced, which contrasts with the lyrics' dark tone. The lead singer's voice is full of raw emotion and seems to be screaming from the depths of his soul. The guitar riffs are distorted and create a sense of urgency and chaos.
