Recent News: Released his debut solo album on February 28. Will embark on his U.K. headlining tour in May.

After making a name for himself as the frontman of renowned British pop group The Vamps, singer and guitarist Bradley Simpson is now paving the way for a career as an equally successful solo artist. On February 28, after a steady number of singles, Simpson released his debut solo album The Panic Years, via Insanity Records. To coincide with the record, Simpson will embark on The Panic Years Tour, where he will play throughout the U.K. this May.

On his inaugural solo album, Simpson retains his own signature artistry while simultaneously expanding upon it. Longtime fans of The Vamps will find a new depth from the musician that may not have been previously seen before, and The Panic Years ultimately explores a heightened sound and artistry from Simpson. While Simpson has faced worldwide fame and success through his work with The Vamps, his debut solo project shows that he can hold just as well on his own.

Dancing along the edge of pop’s limits, The Panic Years also dips its toes into the alternative, with alt-rock and indie sleaze influences dancing in the shadows of the record. Not only does the album convey Simpson’s musical diversity, but it also shows the growth and maturity he has achieved as a professional artist. Simpson is not only a musician to keep in your playlists, but he is one who has earned a definitive spot on every music lover’s radar.
