A nine piece musical monster that feeds on pure energy, the band has built strong following around the UK and especially in the Midlands after gigging hard for 3 years.

The band mix a range of genres into a high energy soup with big sing
along choruses, screaming guitar solos, blaring brass hooks and wild
stage shows. With a mutual love of Reggae, Ska, Punk and a shared
political and social awareness.

Shows have varied from small DIY festivals, toilet venues and street
parties to 1000+ capacity arenas such as Rock City in Nottingham and
The Venue in Derby as well as some of UK’s biggest festivals including
Boomtown (three times), Eden, Y-Not (twice), Beatherder, Splendour
and Equinox.

“More of a movement than a band” – INFL

Shows are attended by people from all backgrounds, ages and musical
tastes, their fan base which they refer to as ‘Misfits’ (after their song
The Misfit) show great loyalty and come out regularly in force.

The guys are a perfect eclectic mix writing and playing exclusively for the reward of a returning and satisfied audience. The music is adventurous in that its description of indie/rock/pop
allows the listener to think that they have heard the sound before, but can't put a finger on quite where! The intention was to create a sound with melodic pop twists much like the early 60s scene but trying to give it a more modern spin. The latest tracks were aimed at just that.
Nick on lead vocals demonstrates his ability to provide a raw ediginess supported by infectious melodies and spiky guitar solos.  The bands demenour is one of swaggering self assurance coupled with endearing honesty just like an up and coming underground sensation should be, and makes this band definitely one to watch.

Rock n' Roll from the North. 

Velcro Teddy Bears are vocalist Sam 'Chaddy' Chadwick, lead guitar Mike 'Griff' Griffin, his brother Josh G on Bass, Mikey Holland on Drums and joining on Keyboards in August 2018 Mr Jack Graham. 

Velcro Teddy Bears are currently laying the pre-production groundwork for their first album to be recorded and released soon.

History
Velcro Teddy Bears started off as an acoustic duo back in the late 2000's and have grown as band and a sound throughout the last ten years or so.

The Velcro Teddy Bears won the accolade of ‘Yorkshire Unplugged’ in 2012 having grown into a 4 piece with their unique skiffle/folk rock sound. Check out 'Lady off London Road' and 'Life on Gas' . The release of their debut EP ‘Coming Back For More’ in 2013 showcased the bands rural and country roots, however the addition of drums and electric guitars, on tracks such as ‘Summer Breeze’ and the title track 'Coming Back for More', has allowed them to explore the dimensions of their searing sound.

Crowned ‘Oxjam Battle of the Bands’ winners for 2014, the four-piece feel quite at home on stage having fully embraced the electric lineup swapping acoustics for Les Pauls and cajons for Pearl Exports, 

The band expanded again in August 2018 with the addition of Jack Graham on keys and rhythm things giving a new scope and again an exploration into a new sound, evident on the latest tracks 'Stranger to Hope' and 'Petrol on the Door'

Long-time friends with a gigging history that stands as a testament to their hardworking ethos, The Velcro Teddy Bears’ nature translates in their songs and at their shows which are electric and foot stomping throughout.

We hope to see you down the front very soon!

Griff, Josh, Chaddy, Mikey and JG
