Brighton based quartet Floors and Walls are a new band on the horizon and
have a whole range of influences from Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Mars Volta,
Rage Against The Machine, The Streets and various different drum and bass
artists. The bands sound has been dubbed as chav-core due to having fast
chavish vocals and lingo over the rock music the band play.
The band released their first single 'Head Access' back in February which
created a massive buzz in their home town of Brighton which helped them
build up a big fan base in no time at all. 'The Stand' is the bands second
single and is set to be released on the 21st May with the album following
a couple of weeks after.
The opening of 'The Stand' sounds like the opening of a hardcore band
and then a few moments later, Alex Adams vocals come in sounding more
like Mike Skinner from the streets than a member of a rock band, but this
is the fun part about Floors And Walls, they mix MC style vocals with
rock music to create a fast new exciting sound. The lyrics are fun and
witty as well.
The b-side on the single is a cover of the classic Beastie Boy's track
'Sabotage' which seems like the perfect song for this band to cover, it’s
a good version but lacks the quality of the original.
Floors And Walls have the potential to go far and will appeal to a lot
of people and will probably bring chavs and rock fans together at gigs
which could be an interesting clash. If 'The Stand' doesn’t leave
you with a smile on your face then there must be something wrong with
you.
4/5
