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.

Into The Fire
The Vines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I want no reason why
Nothin' matters anyway
Comin' up and feelin' great
Still I am born into the fire
To carry on with all the liars
Still I am born into a jail
Pick it up and start again
Shake the worry from my head
No one bothers anymore
I have never been so sure
Still I am born into the fire
To carry on with all the liars
Still I am born into a jail
Under your thumb over the rail
Still I am born into the fire
To be alone with no messiah
Still I am born into a jail
She is the cross you are the nail
The lyrics to The Vines's song "Into The Fire" depict the singer's state of mind--which is one of utter indifference. The song portrays how the singer has given up on caring and worrying about anything in life. The lyrics "There is nothin' on my mind and I want no reason why, Nothin' matters anyway" illustrate that the singer simply does not care about anything in life as nothing seems important or significant to him. However, despite the singer's apathy, the song holds a darker theme that he can't escape. The lyrics "Still, I am born into the fire. To carry on with all the liars. Still, I am born into a jail. Under your thumb, over the rail" show how he can't escape the personal struggles he endures. The singer feels confined in his life and is continuously struggling to escape the misfortunes he faces.
The overall message of the song is one of darkness, depression, and isolation. The lyrics "Still I am born into the fire. To be alone with no messiah. Still, I am born into a jail. She is the cross you are the nail" illustrate the singer's loneliness and his inability to escape it. The singer feels like he is alone in the world and is unable to find redemption or relief in anything. The tone of the song is melancholic and communicates a sense of hopelessness and despair.
The song's title "Into The Fire" gives an allusion to the idea of being consumed or burned by something. The lyrics of the song mirror this idea with how the singer feels consumed by his depression and struggles in life. The repetition of the phrase "Still I am born into the fire" also emphasizes how the singer can't escape his problems and has to endure them.
