YouTube punk-pop stars The Vamps are set to release their much-hyped debut album, Meet The Vamps.
The UK four piece – which consists of singer Bradley Will Simpson, guitarist James McVey, drummer Tristan Evans and bassist Connor Ball – found online fame after uploading their punk-pop covers of Top 40 hits on YouTube. Fifteen million online hits, almost a quarter of a million subscribers, and a major label recording deal later, and The Vamps have become one of the heaviest bleeps on the pop radar.
The band recorded the songs that make up their debut album Meet The Vamps in Los Angeles and New York. With 30 tracks demoed by the band during those sessions, The Vamps' opening shot in the album arena is a release that James promises will be big on “feel good guitar riffs and melodic anthems”.
The teenage four-piece have just come off tour supporting Taylor Swift and last month, they played their first headline show in the USA – headlining New York’s Gramercy – which sold out in under 10 minutes.
