The Vamps are a British pop-rock band consisting of Brad Simpson (lead vocals and guitar), James McVey (lead guitar and vocals), Connor Ball (bass guitar and vocals) and Tristan Evans (drums and vocals).
They first gained fame in late 2012 with cover songs uploaded to YouTube.
They were signed to Mercury Records in November 2012. They supported McFly on their Memory Lane Tour in early 2013, and they performed around the UK as support acts for artists such as Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Little Mix, Demi Lovato, The Wanted, JLS and Lawson.
After a rapid-fire cycle of album releases and tours, The Vamps took a short break – however still found time in late 2018 and 2019 for collaborations with DJ Sigala on We Don’t Care and DJ Alok on All The Lies, as well as to co-write and co-produce their four-track Missing You EP.
In summer 2020, The Vamps dropped the single Married In Vegas, which was A-listed on BBC Radio 2, and in early autumn they revealed the track Chemicals. Both singles formed part of their fifth record Cherry Blossom, released on 16 October 2020.
