The Vamps have showed off their humorous side by sharing a 'shreds' video of themselves.

The clip sees performance footage of the British group overdubbed by intentionally bad singing and dodgy musicianship.

The long-running series reached mainstream attention recently when a One Direction 'shreds' clip became an internet hit.

The same YouTube user who created that video has tried his luck at a similar Vamps clip and it seems to have struck a chord with the group, who tweeted:

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Such huge fans of @SamRickShreds so this is amazing. Thank you guys!!"

Viewers lapped up the video, with one user commenting: "I was laughing before it even started! Haha Great this is. You are going to go far!"
