Floorbound

With some bands, what you see is what you get. Fortunately, that is not always the case. Enter Floorbound. With their debut EP, Autumn Eyes, the boys burst on the scene in July '05 and haven't looked back since. Now, with the release of their long awaited follow-up EP "We Hold the Horizon", and a rapidly growing fanbase that belies their small town roots, Floorbound is out to make a name for themselves. Floorbound's music is imbued with a sense of urgency that makes it both instantaneously accessible and incredibly infectious. Imagine the pop sensibility of The Used mixed with the melodic intensity of Thrice, and you begin to get an image of just a handful of the things Floorbound brings to the table. In a world where the word "genre" has become overused and stale, it is hard to categorize new bands. This is especially true with Floorbound because their sound draws from such a wide variety of music. From the in-your-face, guitar driven rock of "Only the Lonely", to the post hardcore tinged "Miracle", to the cinematically epic choruses of "Maia", it is plain to see that Floorbound refuses to be pigeonholed into one genre or subgenre. Floorbound, in one word, is rock. Energetic choruses have fans singing along before the end of their first listen, and remain stuck in the heads of listeners for days. This catchiness is the predominant reason why Floorbound is achieving such great heights so quickly. With a loyal fanbase that is growing at an exponential rate and their eyes set on the prize, it is apparent that the boys of Floorbound will not be denied in their quest for greatness.
