" &amp;quot;There are different artists who inspire different aspects of our music,&amp;quot; notes The Vamps singer Bradley Simpson. &amp;quot;For me, I played guitar for three years before I even started singing, so to inspire me to play guitar it was [AC/DC guitarist] Angus Young and the film School Of Rock. &amp;quot;For singing, it was probably Paolo Nutini. The style I really got into was his - and Arctic Monkeys were probably a big one. Performance, for all of us, I think is McFly.&amp;quot;   Guitarist James McVey adds: &amp;quot;Busted and Good Charlotte - if it wasn&amp;#039;t for those two bands, then I wouldn&amp;#039;t have ever got into guitar. But for writing it&amp;#039;s Taylor Swift, obviously. It&amp;#039;s McFly for live. Before I had seen them in concert, I would never have performed as we do now.&amp;quot; As for the albums they re-visit again and again? &amp;quot;Take Off Your Pants and Jacket by Blink 182 and American Idiot by Green Day,&amp;quot; reveals Tristan Evans. &amp;quot;I just always go crawling back. I used to listen to it on the school bus on the way to swimming.&amp;quot;   Connor Ball adds: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s an album by All Time Low called Nothing Personal which is awesome.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I really like both of Damien Rice&amp;#039;s albums in full, and I like all of Taylor Swift&amp;#039;s albums,&amp;quot; James says. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a band called Green River Ordinance that I&amp;#039;ve just got into over the past six months and they&amp;#039;re really awesome.&amp;quot;   Bradley concludes: &amp;quot;For me, one of the first albums where I could listen to every song was Paolo Nutini&amp;#039;s These Streets. It&amp;#039;s just ridiculous and really well written.  &amp;quot;The Rudimental album is really good - there&amp;#039;s not a bad song on that. I like every Foo Fighters album to be honest, and then the new Arctic Monkeys record. It never gets old.&amp;quot; The Vamps&amp;#039; new single &amp;#039;Wild Heart&amp;#039; is out now. Watch The Vamps perform their new single &amp;#039;Wild Heart&amp;#039; for Digital Spy below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
