The four-piece were formed by three schoolfriends (vocalist/guitarist Rohan Fletcher,
lead guitarist (and Jet Black’s producer) Adam Sanders, and drummer Oli Williams who
Fletcher and Sanders nabbed from another school band). The trio all chose to study at
the same university where they plotted the plight of their new band together. Bassist
George Green arrived when Fletchr Fletchr were already almost fully-formed, ushered
on stage for a show merely days after joining.

Naming your band after the vocalist follows a curious lineage (Van Halen, Florence &
The Machine, Mumford & Sons, Ben Folds Five to name but a few), yet the actual
reasoning is somewhat sweeter. Firstly, it’s in tribute to Rohan’s father, who passed
away as the band’s biggest fan and source of encouragement. And secondly, when
Adam moved into Rohan’s family home, working at their pub alongside Rohan, it was
commented by friends that the pair had become almost inseparable, with Adam
welcomed as a genuine part of the family Fletchr – and thus Fletchr Fletchr were born.

The very adult but relatable emotions of anxiety, love, and grief are already at the heart
of what the band are writing their nascent songs about, and are quickly finding a kinship
with their young fanbase by tapping into those themes. None of it goes hidden, instead
rocketed out verbatim in these dizzying guitar songs.
