Fletchr Fletchr: A band enjoying the time of their lives 

The Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham, 20 November 2025

It’s pretty straightforward with Fletchr Fletchr – what you see is what you get: four lads that play guitar and sing. They’re your classic British rock band with no bells and whistles. They write about the world they live in, and play the music they want to listen to. It’s a relatively simple equation, but one that proves remarkably effective.

Sauntering up onto the stage, they launch into their first track with no introduction. Perhaps it is eagerness, and they cannot wait to get started playing, or maybe it’s a cheeky bit of arrogance and ego – there’s no need for niceties, they’ll let the crowd work out who they are for themselves. Whatever it is, Fletchr Fletchr carry it off in style.   

There is an undeniable sense of momentum behind the band right now

Right from their opening number, ‘Alive’, you are immediately struck by the presence of frontman Rohan Fletcher’s vocals and Adam Sanders’ roaring guitar: they are unapologetically themselves, turning their music down for no one, and forcing the world to sit up and take notice.   

After a breakout summer, opening for Imagine Dragons at Wembley and having just released their debut EP, We All Feel The Same, there is an undeniable sense of momentum behind the band right now. With a slot booked at Live at Leeds and further European shows planned for next summer, you’d be hard-pressed to bet against them continuing that same exponential growth in 2026.  

Watching Fletchr Fletchr play feels like the unearthing of a gem – you cannot help but get the sense that this is the feeling fans would’ve got watching Arctic Monkeys and The Kooks emerge in the early 2000s explosion of British indie rock. Belting choruses, a moody bassist, and even a drummer in a sleeveless vest, they bear all the hallmarks of a classic rock band in the making.  

At points they turn down the amps, ditching the electric guitars and showing a vulnerability away from the rock star bravado

Some might find all this cliché and grating, but when watching Fletchr Fletchr live, you understand that music is their passion, their dream, and their life. Listening to the lyrics of their latest EP makes it explicitly clear: they don’t write for clickbait, or to blow up on TikTok in the way so many, perhaps more superficial, artists do – they write for themselves, as an outlet to help process the world around them. 

As the night goes on, they cover all your classic high-energy tunes, but at points they turn down the amps, ditching the electric guitars and showing a vulnerability away from the rock star bravado presented up until this point in the set. With no drums or bass to hide behind, Fletcher sings ‘F*cking With My Head’ almost a capella, telling the crowd of his anxiety and self-doubt, laying his soul bare for everyone to see. 

In moments as tender as this, you are also struck by the unity and genuine camaraderie of the band. As Rohan sings of his deepest insecurities, they do not busy themselves with their drinks or shy away in awkwardness but rather rally around their frontman in universal support.

They play with such sheer energy and joy that it radiates into the audience, giving fans an unparalleled night out

They support each other as brothers. In forming the band, they have all become Fletchers, and they dedicate one of the final songs of the night to the original Fletcher, Rohan’s dad, who recently passed away. They channel all their pent-up sorrow into this final track, the unreleased ‘Life’, Rohan’s lip quivering with emotion, pointing to the crowd as he sings as if to impress upon us the force of their grief. 

Fletchr Fletchr feel special. They may not have the most talented guitarist, or the most technical drummer, or the best voices, but they don’t need to. They play with such sheer energy and joy that it radiates into the audience, giving fans an unparalleled night out.  

For the final number, they introduce a track called ‘One For The Record’, announcing this time on tour as “the best time of [their] lives”. To watch Fletchr Fletchr is to understand that this really is the best time of their lives, and they’re ready to grasp it with both hands, not letting it go any time soon.
