The Vapors’ Steve Smith’s history with Rotosound

They hit the road in promotion of the single and album and toured extensively throughout the UK, Australia and the USA. After their second album ‘Magnets’ was released United Artists were sold and our journey came to an end in 1981 after their new record company lost interest.

In 2016 they got an offer to reform The Vapors for 4 gigs in the UK/Ireland. They weren’t sure what the response would be after 35 years but happily the gigs sold really well with the London date selling out in a matter of days. Onward into 2017 and they are still gigging as The Vapors and have already completed a sold out show at the 100 Club, played a show with ‘The Skids’ at London’s legendary Roundhouse and are looking forward to a number of festivals and shows throughout the Summer and Autumn.

Bassist Steve Smith swears by his Rickenbacker and Rotosound RS66LD strings.

“Rotosound strings give me the reliability and the versatility I require whether it be in the live arena or in a studio setting. Nothing else will do!”
