I am sure most of you know who The Vamps are, but if not then I am sure you will find out throughout this blog post. Originally there were only three members in The Vamps, and they were formed in late 2011 - early 2012 and it started off with just James McVey, then Bradley Simpson joined, then Tristan Evans. They were a band for a year and occasionally in their videos they would ask Connor Ball to play bass for them and eventually they asked him to be a part of their band (magical moment). They all met through Facebook and YouTube, but James McVey was already managed by their current manager before they formed the band. You can find out more about them on their Wikipedia page. They have supported various artists on their tours and I have been lucky enough to see them at the McFly Tour in May 2013 and they were absolutely AMAZING! This was the first tour they had been a support act on. I then saw them on the Taylor Swift RED Tour in February 2014 and again they were awesome. Unfortunately I haven't been lucky enough to meet them in person yet, which sucks.
They have had three hit singles and they now have an album out and it's just super exciting! 'Can We Dance' was their first single and was released September 2013 and made it to number 2 in the UK. Their second single, 'Wildheart', was released January 2014 and made it to number 3 in the UK, and then their third single, Last Night' was released April 2014 and made it to number 2! They have literally done so well and their music just makes me so happy!!
They have now got an album out, 'Meet The Vamps', which was released yesterday (14th April, 2014). I have bought every single CD and DVD, which to some people might make me seem obsessed, but I am not, I promise. I just love their music. You can check them out on their YouTube channel and you can visit their website.
My personal favourite songs on the album are: 'Somebody To You', 'Lovestruck', 'She Was The One', 'Risk It All', 'High Hopes' and 'Wildheart'. But seriously the album is absolutely amazing and it has been on repeat since I got it and their music reminds me so much of McFly's earlier albums, which is great because I am a big fan of both bands.
CD listing^
I first heard of the Vamps in the Autumn of 2012 because I knew that they were supporting McFly and I have loved them ever since! My favourite cover of theirs has to be '22' (by Taylor Swift) and 'Twist and Shout'.
Their merchandise isn't tacky at all, but I do hate the fact that they now have merch in Claire's, but oh well! I also think the wristband situation is tricky because everyone would love them, but that just can't happen, so selling the band 'Team' wristbands was a genius idea to make it fair enough for everyone! You can check out their merchandise here. And I own quite a bit of their merchandise, but it's really comfy. I HAVE NO SHAME! I have the Baseball top in navy which is Brads colour so has his surname on it and my Sister has the black one which is James' colour. I got the 'Meet The Vamps' poster free when I bought the CD and DVD in HMV, so yay!

I was even lucky enough to get a reply from them when they were performing at the O2, supporting Taylor Swift, which I just have to share with you all! It was a very magial moment! :P
So if you haven't heard of The Vamps, then go check them out, and if you already know them then I hope you love them as much as I do! As you can probably tell I am quite the fangirl, but I am not the crazy type! Thank You for reading!
