The Vaselines are a Scottish indie pop band formed in Edinburgh in 1987. The group was founded by singers/guitarists Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee, later joined by Kelly's brother Charles on drums and James Seenan on bass. They signed to Stephan Pastel's newly formed label, 53rd and 3rd, releasing their debut single "Son of a Gun" in 1987. Despite disbanding after the release of their only studio album "Dum Dum" in 1989, they briefly reunited to open for Nirvana in Edinburgh. Their songs were covered by Nirvana and gained renewed interest leading to the release of their compilation album "The Way of the Vaselines" in 1992.

Eugene Kelly went on to front Captain America (later renamed Eugenius), while Frances McKee resurfaced with Suckle after spending most of the decade out of sight.

With influences from the Velvet Underground evident through the inclusion of viola player Sophie Pragnell, The Vaselines' music continues to captivate fans with its unique blend of indie pop sound.

The Vaselines have long been celebrated by musicians and music enthusiasts across genres and across the globe, including super-fan Kurt Cobain. Emerging in the mid-eighties under the wing of The Pastels’s Stephen McRobbie, The Vaselines came to define the sly wit and irresistible pop hooks of the era’s Scottish indie scene. Sub Pop's remastered reintroduction of The Way of The Vaselines is an opportunity for those already familiar with the Scottish band's brief career to delve deeper into their body of work, while those new to their music can experience firsthand why so many hold them in such high regard. Originally mastered from a cassette tape (and since remastered on much better equipment in the new millennium), The Way of The Vaselines compiles the band's two EPs (Son of a Gun and Dying for It) and their sole LP release (Dum-Dum).This 2024 edition is the first ever vinyl release of The Way of The Vaselines, which originally came out on CD in 1992.
