“At one point or another, all four of us have been heartbroken – which is sad! But songwriting is the biggest catharsis and outlet,” Brad shared. “Every person in life goes through it. At the same time, it’s you coming to terms with who you are as a person … there’s a lot to get your head around.”
Brad added about how this new album is much more mature than their previous ones: “It’s a bit more honest and telling of stories of things that have happened to us over the past couple of years.
“It was a bit of a departure from previous albums. A lot of the songs are catered to the concept of the album which is different for us.”
Tristan on his dream girl: “Someone who’s kind and doesn’t take herself too seriously. She’s also got to have a good sense of humor!”
Brad on long distance relationships: “Are definitely able to hold down. As hard as they can be, they do have their upsides. It’s exciting seeing someone after a long trip and I think you value the time with them more.”
James on his idea of a perfect date: “Netflix and good food!”
Tristan on his cure for heartbreak is: “Adele and baths!”

“It’s quite dangerous out there. You have to take security but one night we went out in the middle of the night and got lost in Peru,” Connor shared. “We couldn’t get home, but we didn’t want to call our management to come and get us because we would have been horrendously told off.”
He added, “I don’t even know how we got back. It was half four in the morning, we had to try and find a taxi without getting attacked.”
On top of getting lost, there was also a language barrier — because none of them speak Spanish!
“The fact that no one in the band could speak Spanish just made matters worse. I thought I could speak Spanish when I was a bit drunk,” Connor adds. “I did Spanish GSCE. I was trying to convert that but they [Peruvians where they were at] speak more Portuguese. There was definitely a language barrier because it didn’t mean anything to them.”
The Vamps are pictured below at their concert at SSE Hydro in Glasgow on Saturday (April 29).
“We are blown away by the reaction to our new direction,” The Vampsexclusively told us. “We weren’t sure how our collaboration with Norwegian tropical house wizard Matoma would be received, but three months and a quarter of a billion streams later, we feel like it is working well.”
The band also hinted that their next single – which has yet to be announced – will follow in the footsteps of “All Night”. The sure-to-be smash song will have another cool DJ feature and will drop before the end of the month.
