There are more than one group with the name Teddy Bears. The first Teddy Bears was a late 50s pop vocal group produced by Phil Spector, best known for their hit “To Know Him is to Love Him”.
The contemporary Teddy Bears bio follows:
They began as Skull, a grindcore group. The band initially consisted of singer Patrik Arve and the brothers Joakim Åhlund and Klas Åhlund, before drummer Olsson joined them. They released their debut album You Are Teddybears in 1993 and their second album, titled I Can’t Believe It’s Teddybears STHLM followed in 1996. Their third album Rock’n’Roll Highschool came out in 2000 and consisted of electronic elements, which were a departure from the band’s previous hardcore music. A fourth album, ‘Fresh’, was released in 2005 and included the singles Cobrastyle and Hey Boy.
As for the name, “If you’re familiar with the Swedish or Norwegian black metal scene, you know back then every band was called things like ‘Corpse Grinder From Hell,’ Åhlund says. “So we called ourselves the Teddybears as an ‘anti’ thing.” Band members wear large bear masks in album art and promotional photographs.
Joakim Åhlund is also the lead guitarist and songwriter for the Caesars, who are best known for Jerk It Out, a song used in an iPod commercial. Klas Åhlund has also produced most of the Caesars’ albums.

This should be the Teddybears STHLM. They lost the STHLM for their US-release which was a compilation of their more recent and more popular songs. I think we should really lose the 50s tag for those guys displayed on the picture.
