Velvet Iguanas

Velvet Iguanas are a four-piece indie guitar band from Lancashire, northwest England, carving their own path in the modern music scene. With evocative lyrics, infectious melodies, and electrifying live performances, the band blends heartfelt storytelling with a raw, guitar-driven sound inspired by the grit and charm of their northern roots.

Frontman and rhythm guitarist Tom leads the charge with introspective lyrics and a magnetic stage presence. On bass, Graham provides the technical backbone, delivering tight rhythms and innovative grooves. Julia, the drummer and co-writer, adds powerful beats, seamless vocal harmonies, and creative flair. Rounding out the lineup is Will, the lead guitarist whose intricate riffs and soaring solos bring the band’s music to life.

Influenced by the jangly charm of The Smiths, the anthemic energy of Arctic Monkeys, and the introspective edge of Ocean Colour Scene, Velvet Iguanas also channel modern indie acts like Fontaines D.C. Their sound is a unique blend of nostalgia and fresh originality, capturing listeners with every note.

With a loyal local following and a reputation for high-energy shows, Velvet Iguanas are ready to reach new heights. Their music—equal parts raw emotion and shimmering melodies—resonates deeply, marking them as a rising force on the indie scene.
