Biography

Floors and Walls have been pushing the thin line between originality and insanity for the last year producing what may seem like a jumble of influences to some but to others they are sparking a new musical revolution for the spliff and playstation generation of today.

Living above the Audio bar on Brighton’s marine parade, guitarist Dom Mcnulty and drummer Adam Shamp (Broadstairs, Kent) met bass player Ian Booth, (Ilminster, Somerset) whose roots lay in Blur, Pennywise and a sea of trance that enslaved him to his stereo as he grew up. His relationship with Dom and Shamp was about to be glued together with the help of Alex Adams (Margate, Kent).

"We found ourselves in a hole in the cliff playing a couple of chilli’s tracks" said Alex, "and it was good but there was nothing in those tracks that excited us, we were just trying to sound like the chilli’s. The boys had been jamming Megalomaniac, an Incubus track, and I just put some of my lyrics to it"

For Dom that was the moment, "Al came from a background totally withdrawn from the rock scene the rest of us were so familiar with, he started off mc-ing at local clubs around Kent and I was drawn in by the sound of some great riffs with al’s fast paced lyrics"

This was the start of Floors and Walls and after Head Access was thrown together in the space of a couple of days, they realized the potential of the band had only been touched on. Two months later the bands first gig was held at the Pressure Point to a crowd of 200 intrigued fans.

I asked Dom how the band reached this stage after such a short amount of time, "We had 6 tracks at this point and I spent 2 very long weeks close to death recording them, I remember we were in the hole at 4 in the morning with 2 drum tracks left to do and that was the first day!"

The right people heard it and shortly after the completion of the demo, Floors and Walls were being played on Brighton’s local radio snapping up enthused fans from all corners of Brighton’s music scene. 

Almost a year later after teaming up with South Coast Sounds, Floors and Walls are sitting on an Album tipped to make a huge dent in the side of the mainstream norm. Lyrically they will take you to fresh grounds, their totally uncensored, merciless depiction of life on the other side will take you through a story of life, love, lust and death governed by a political undercurrent that effects modern life no matter how hard the audience try to escape it. Add some great riffs and lavish arrangements and you get one of the finest examples of British musical innovations over the last decade.
