The Stiff Dylans are a pop rock band from the United Kingdom. They found fame after being featured in Gurinder Chadha's 2008 Paramount Pictures film Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and performing several songs on the soundtrack.[1]

The band comprises James Flannigan (vocals), Matt Harris (bass), Charlie Wride (guitar) and Tom Slaytor (drums), with members having previously studied at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music and the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford.[1] The members auditioned to join the band, which also featured actor Aaron Johnson on bass guitar in the film.[2] They had two chart hits in the UK in 2008: "Ultraviolet" (the main theme from the film), which reached number 41, and "Ever Fallen in Love", a cover version of the Buzzcocks song, which reached number 93.[3]
