The Vamps reveal their musical influences

The Vamps have included the likes of McFly, AC/DC and Good Charlotte in their music influences.

The rising British group revealed all to Digital Spy about what music acts they take inspiration from.

Bradley Simpson said: "There are different artists who inspire different aspects of our music. For me, I played guitar for three years before I even started singing, so to inspire me to play guitar it was [AC/DC guitarist] Angus Young and the film School Of Rock. For singing, it was probably Paolo Nutini. The style I really got into was his - and Arctic Monkeys were probably a big one. Performance, for all of us, I think is McFly."

James McVey commented: "Busted and Good Charlotte - if it wasn't for those two bands, then I wouldn't have ever got into guitar. But for writing it's Taylor Swift, obviously. It's McFly for live. Before I had seen them in concert I would never have performed as we do now."

Connor Ball added: "There's an album by All Time Low called 'Nothing Personal' which is awesome."

McVey interjected: "I really like both of Damien Rice's albums in full, and I like all of Taylor Swift's albums. There's a band called Green 'River Ordinance' that I've just got into over the past six months and they're really awesome."
