British pop-rock band The Vamps have appeared in a new feature via Paper magazine. 

In the interview, the 'Can We Dance' hitmakers open up about being referred to as a boyband and explain that unfortunately, it just comes with the territory of being a group of four guys playing music together: "I don't think we've fought against it. We don't mind."

They continued: "In today's industry, there's a massive lack of guitars, and if a band pops along you get categorized. But if people really want to know what the Vamps are, come see a live show -- people's opinions are always altered after that."

Frontman Brad Simpson goes on to add that their musical style has evolved with each album:

"It's about challenging yourself. The first album was more a mix of sounds. Bruno Mars to folk-influenced ballads. The second album, Wake Up, was more coherent and linked musically. It's about experimenting, and that's the benefit of having four lads in a band with different musical tastes."
