Fletch Cadillac are an English psychobilly influenced punk rock band from Norwich, England. The band formed in the early months of 2004 initially as a 3 piece consisting of brothers Ben & Joe and long-time friend Dov. The band brought in Ollie 'Jugs' Ward in early summer 2006 to form the 4 piece they are today.

In September 2005 they filmed their first music video for their song Time To Die with funding from BBC Norwich.

Fletch Cadillac's debut EP was released on 27 January 2006 at their headlining show at The Ferryboat Inn, Norwich. The EP is being released with the help of Power Chord, a local independent record label.
