The Vamps – Rest Your Love

“Congratulations on your fortuitous circumstances”

Tim: Less than two months since their last, but here’s the second track from the album; very much as enjoyable as the last, I think you’ll find.

Tim: So by my reckoning, now that The Hiatus is on, and until Busted put out new stuff (GET ON WITH IT WE ARE WAITING), these guys are pretty much the only thing going on, boyband-wise.

Tom: Wait, really? I… huh. I hadn’t realised that. Maybe 5 Seconds of Summer, even though they’re claiming they’re pop-punk? You’re right, though.

Tim: The reason I point this out? Simple: it means they get the dream team of Rami Yacoub, Carl Falk and Savan Kotecha writing tracks like this for them, and my word do they know what to do with them.

Tom: Huh. We’ve both got a completely different reaction to this track. Yep, the later choruses aren’t bad, but I’d file this under “album track”. What do you like so far?

Tim: It’s a whole lot of fun, exactly as it should be, with exactly the right balance of singing and shouting, and a very good number of woah-oh-oh-ings going on in the background.

Tom: When you put it like that: yes, I can see how it ticks all the boxes. But for me, at least, that’s all it does.

Tim: Well, TOP MARKS FROM ME, guys, and either way, congratulations on the fortuitous circumstances you currently find yourselves in.
