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!
