The Vaccines' Justin Young has praised Harry Styles and Niall Horan after partaking in songwriting sessions with the One Direction duo.

As previously reported, the indie man said that he penned some "awesome" songs whilst writing with the 'Kiss You' stars.

Opening up further about the experience to MTV, Young said that he teamed up with Styles and Horan in particular, who he says are both good songwriters. He said:

"They are both natural writers. I love writing songs and love pop music, so the process was exciting. I don't think they are going for a heavier, indie sound. Maybe it's damaged my credibility, but it wasn't The Vaccines who wrote for them, it was me, so I doubt it's damaged the band's."

It is unclear, however, what project the songwriting sessions were for.
