About Me
A melting pot of hard rock, MCing, melodic guitars and soulful, yet hard hitting lyrics, Floors and Walls are on the cutting edge of a new sound rising from the streets of Brighton.
Please read our reviews, listen to our tracks and come check us out live before making your mind up :-
This band are the worst band ever! - NME
Floors And Walls have been described as ‘The Streets meets Rage Against The Machine’ which as bizarre as it sounds, is a fair approximation of this debut offering. It’s a brave band who dare combine sovereign-ring wearing, Carling-downing English urbanism with such funky riffs and weighty grooves.
Borrowing liberally from the well–pillaged school of John Frusciante, F&W sound like a beefier Arctic Monkeys…A highly original collision of disparate styles which given time to mature, could be genuinely exciting. Irritatingly good fun. KKK! - Kerrang! Magazine
Rock is truely an international language. It has been battled back and forth across the pond more times than can be counted, but for some reason hip-hop has never had the same ease of passage. So it makes sense that any UK band intent on matching the rhyme splitting styles of hip-hop with heavy, banging rock would be better off looking closer to home for inspiration, instead of trying to sound like Limp Bizkit.
Floors and Walls sound completely unique in that they marry the streetwise British punk of The Jam to the plausibly grime based delivery of Mike Skinner or Dizzie Rascal. The melange of Arctic Monkeys, Ordinary Boys and The Streets won't be for everyone but its unique enough to be worth keeping an eye on. 6/10 - Classic Rock Magazine
....While their raucous stage show has turned heads, its the fearsome foursome's blend of 90's alternative and funk with the skittish energy and vocal snarl of garage that really stands out.... - Rock Sound
Coming on like a genre-smashing version of Head Automatica and Sonic Boom Six by way of Asian Dub Foundation and Dub War, Floors and Walls go for the head as well as the heart with album "What Can We Do Today?", mixing up Mod-rock, pop punk, dancehall and hip-hop to create something genuinely new and refreshing - Big Cheese Magazine
If Floors & Walls can build on this impressive debut with more tunes of the quality of “Head Accessâ€, “What To Doâ€, “Snake†or “Lip Sync†then they could truly be a massive band. These four tunes especially show the power, ability and breadth of these guys and I, for one, will be watching with keen interest to see where the band go next.

“NU-METALâ€; No other phrase has the ability to send chills down music listeners spines as this late 90’s abomination. While quality bands were actually born out of this genre, by and large the majority of groups playing this style of music are now fodder for VH1’s “Where Are They Now?†series. So what was I to think when I first started listening to the debut album from Floors and Walls – What Can We Do Today? Was England trying to bring the genre back or did the boys across the pond just not get the memo? None of this was true however, as these youngsters from Brighton have blown away all conventions; to call this great debut album Nu-Metal would be to dismiss what a fantastic record this is.... - PoliticalPunk.org ( CLICK HERE for full review)
Grab this album with both hands and pray they release more as soon as possible! I rarely give out a 5 out of 5 for albums, this one was never in doubt. - Rock3Music.com ( CLICK HERE for full review)
.... Their energy is infectious as they strip down genre barries, experimenting with rock, MC-ing and melodies. Their dark sound puts them on a pedestal stretching years beyond their age....For a band who only formed last year, the poise and professionalism they show on stage mean it would be an injustice if they never make it. - Caught Live: The Sun ( CLICK HERE for full review)
Following the trend set by recent East Londoners, Floors and Walls bring us their brilliant debut album "What Can We Do Today?"....Crossing between genres of British Hip-Hop, Rap and Urban, Floors and Walls provide a humorous outlook on life....The album is a good debut album, showing independance and maturity throughout, gaining the correct balance and exceeding all my expectations.... - RoomThirteen.com ( CLICK HERE for full review)
....The fantastic Floors and Walls sound like a mash-up of The Arctic Monkeys and Rage Against The Machine with a little bit of The Beastie Boys thrown in for good measure. A mix of killer guitar licks and wickedly funny MCing from lead singer Alex Adams....They've also got a belter of an album due for release in June, which can only be described as funked out, jungled up, trip-hop rock and popdebauchery.... - GO2 Magazine (Single Of The Month)
Brighton's Floors and Walls were completely unknown and a real surprise, They opened sounding like they were going to be a hard rock band but then frontman Alex Adams turned out to be a rapper with a rapid-fire delivery, loads of energy and a remarkable singing voice. Their unusal fusion of drum'n'bass and heavy rock with very clever and witty lyrics seemed to nod towards so many influences - Rage Against The Machine, Faith No More, The Streets, the Chilli Peppers and loads more came to mind. This was their first time in Bristol; it surely won't be their last - Bristol Evening Post
A phenomenon waiting to happen! Rage Against The Machine meets The Streets!! I shouldn't need to say and more, check them out! I'm loving this! - Damien Keyes - JuiceFM
The best thing I've heard in years!" - Yap (Vocals for One Minute Silence / PinkPunk)
This band have taken the hip of The Streets, the heavy of Rage Against The Machine, fucked it all up and spat out their own chav-rock! - Mark Clayden (Bassist for Pitchshifter / This Is Menace)
These guys have tapped into something seriously interesting! - Kieron Pepper (Drummer for The Prodigy)
