The Vamps talk about their next album

Four piece British pop-rock band The Vamps are currently working on their second studio album and guitarist James McVey has teased the sound they’re going for this time around.

Band member James McVey admitted that while their next record sounds like The Vamps, it’s definitely different to their debut offering: “We want to keep the essence of what the Vamps is, so there’s still lots of guitars.”

‘Somebody To You’ hitmaker said “We’re experimenting with some synths though, and we’re writing more in the direction of what’s happening now in the music industry, so there’s elements of guys like Avicii. On the other hand we’re looking at guys like Sting and the stuff he did with the Police – the rhythms and some of the guitar work that’s on there (by Andy Summers) are great.”

McVey, meanwhile, also added that he and the other members are very mindful of how they treat fans and the press because they know what it’s like to be sneered at and looked down on:

“I think it’s important to stay grounded, and be polite to be those around you, because you don’t always get that in the industry. You need to keep on chatting to fans on the interact and be interactive, that was so important for us. There were people really rude and dismissive to us, and we still get that every day. It’s fine though, we’ll just carry on doing what we’re doing.”

Earlier this month, the band revealed that the highly-anticipated second album is ‘trippy’: “It’s still very band-y, but less folky than our debut. It’s a bit trippy, a bit 80s, with some MGMT-style synths.”
