'The Stand' Single released on May 21 & 'What Can We Do Today' Album on June 4 '07 !!
What happens when the world of hoodie-sporting chavdom crashes headfirst into big groove, visceral rock music like a joy ridden Honda Civic? Floors And Walls mate. That's what.
Looking as likely to mug you as play you a tune, this Brighton based quartet are forging a path into unique and idiosyncratic waters. Some have seen fit to dub it Chav-Core - but you need to hear this band to decide for yourself!
They release their second single, 'The Stand', on the 21st of May 2007 on South Coast Sounds. Available as CD and download, it will include a live version of 'Grimey' and a cover of the classic Beastie Boy's track 'Sabotage' (+ the Stand ringtone)! It will be followed on June 4 by the 'What Can We Do Today' album.
The band 's limited edition debut single 'Head Access', released in February, created a massive buzz locally and the band have built up a loyal following, selling out Brighton's Concorde 2 to over 700 fans!
Front man, MC and all-round lad Alex Adams comes from a drum n bass background, while the rest of the band were raised on the likes of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mars Volta, Muse and System Of A Down. The result has been described as "The Streets meets Rage Against The Machine". Or as one wag put it 'the resulting offspring of a sexual liaison between the Chili Peppers and Vikki Pollard!'.
There is a tangible excitement in the audience at Floors and Walls gigs, "I think the best music happens when you combine polar opposites", explains guitarist Dom McNulty, "We sound a bit like Arctic Monkey's on speed!"
Because of the band's unique fusion of sounds (a melting pot of rock, MCing and soulful hardhitting lyrics), Floors and Walls have the opportunity to cross over between the usually separate audiences for drum n bass and rock music. "I think everybody can take something from it because it's so diverse," says Ian. "We all bring our own influences to it and see what happens."
The band head out on the road in support of the up-coming releases. Catch them at one of the following shows:
March 22nd Old Ship, Brighton (Brighton Festival Launch)
March 24th Sugarlounge, Margate
April 17th Bristol Fleece & Firkin
April 18th Tunbridge Wells Forum
May 3rd Dublin Castle, London
