The Vamps reveal Beatles influence on album title

The Vamps channelled the Beatles when thinking up the title of their new album.

The British group unleashed their debut record 'Meet The Vamps' today (April 14) in the UK.

Speaking to the Daily Star, singer Brad Simpson said they took inspiration from the Beatles and their second album 'With The Beatles' when thinking of their title.

He said: "We realised the Beatles connection, we didn't want to be insulting or big-headed in any way but being a British band we are massively influenced by them. It's kind of a similar thing in the sense that we are pop and it's the first thing we're putting out.

"People are meeting The Vamps and having their first impression of our music. There are songs I wrote when I was 15, and comes James McVey wrote when he was 14, so it's been brewing three of four years. We wrote about 40 songs for the album so to cut them down was hard."

The Vamps meanwhile are currently No.3 in the UK iTunes chart with their album.
