About Me

FLOONE.... Are a fast paced indie band with the distinct Manchester edge of their home town. Formed in late 2007, when David Harris joined long standing friends, Will Nagle, Rob Byrom and Matt Love. Nagle had been determined to bring the Bass back in to Manchester bands and teamed up with school friend, Byrom, who would knock out beats to match the fury of Nagle’s. With Love on vocals, a new Manc front-man was born Attempts by the trio of vocals, bass and drums to find a guitarist had been stuttered but with the addition of Harris, something seemed to click. With songs being written by the whole band, a real feel of a gang was formed and not just a one man show with some “yes! men” behind him. So the guitars were turned up, the bass rumbled, the drums beat and the lyrics snarled out. Loud, fast and how it should be!Gigs began in March 2008 at Night and Day on Oldham Street. Reviews of the night described to sound as something like "If Ian Brown had joined Rage Against the Machine" Other gigs followed in venues such as The Academy Manchester, Retro Bar and opening up the MAPS festival at Dry Bar and in support of Dirty Pretty Things, at London’s Dirty South bar. ____________________________________________________________ _____"Loud, raw and snarly and that’s just how we like them.
