Biography

In 2012, guitarist James McVey decided to take the more unusual route of searching for talent on YouTube when he wanted to start a band. First he approached singer/songwriter Bradley Simpson via his own YouTube channel, and after writing a few songs together, the pair recruited drummer Tristan Evans and bassist Connor Ball to complete the lineup. Uploading cover versions to their YouTube channel, the four-piece quickly gained a following, and at the tail-end of 2012, they signed a deal with Mercury Records. Earning a support slot with pop outfit McFly on their 2013 Memory Lane Tour — a band with whom the Vamps share a similar sound — the band's fan base quickly swelled and the release of their first self-penned material followed. The debut single, Can We Dance, was first aired via the group's spiritual home, YouTube, and notched up over a million views within the first two weeks. Officially released in October 2013, Can We Dance debuted at number two on the Official U.K. Singles Chart. In April 2014 the group released their debut album, Meet the Vamps, amid a whirlwind of press engagements. The single, Last Night — the third to be taken from the album and released just a week before — scored the outfit their third consecutive U.K. Top Ten single, entering the charts at number two.
