Initially a five-piece, they were discovered by a Warner Brothers talent scout while working as decorators in a shop near Oxford Street, singing during their tea break.
Their 2010 debut album, Good Ol' Fashioned Love entered the UK album chart at #40 upon its first release on November 1, with sales of 5,371 in its opening week. Following a reissue in 2011, the album peaked at #4 and as of 2018 has sold nearly half a million copies. The group has gone on to release six further albums, with five out of the seven peaking within the UK Top 10.
Line-Up Changes:
In 2016, lead singer Timmy Matley was diagnosed with stage three malignant melanoma and two years later died in a drug-related accident. The following April, Lockie Chapman, the group's bass singer, announced his intention to leave to persue other commitments and his last performance with the group was in May 2019. The next month, Welsh singer Jay James was announced as a new member of The Overtones.
