Thousand Miles (Live in Huddersfield)
Ten Floors (formerly Ten Floors Below Society) are a totally unique 4-piece piano-based indie/rock band that have successfully established themselves as one of the most exciting and dynamic unsigned bands today, sweeping a breath of fresh air over the North of England and beyond.
Hailing from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, the band consists of idealistic front-man Josh Carruthers (Vocals and Keyboards), twins Ste Brown (Lead Guitar) and Jake Brown (Bass Guitar and Backing Vocals) along with the solid and driving Adi Bell (Drums and Backing Vocals).
Since their formation in 2003, Ten Floors have managed to couple music ability together with friendship in a uniquely creative way - and with all members being 18 years, there is no limit to the creativity and originality still to come.
In November 2007, Ten Floors released their debut digital only single - ‘The Apple Tree‘. The track fuses Ten Floors ability to craft a song with instant likeability with a distinct accessibility. The self-financed single was released worldwide on 26 November 2007, and is available digital only via iTunes and other major online retailers. ‘The Apple Tree‘ has been proudly produced and recorded by Mickey Dale (Keyboards, Embrace), which can only signal what the future holds for Ten Floors. In support of the single release, Ten Floors underwent their biggest tour yet, dubbed ‘The Apple Tree Tour’, from September 2007 to December 2007.
The confidence to release their debut single is only confirmed by enduring constant success, notably being named outright winners of the prestigious The Pulse of West Yorkshire Battle of the Bands in 2006, winning various other Battle of the Bands competitions around the region (‘All the bands but hardly a battle’ - Huddersfield Daily Examiner) and playing well-established venues including Sheffield’s ‘Don Valley Bowl‘, the Leeds ‘Cockpit‘, Wakefield’s ‘Snooty Fox’ and more recently Hylands Park, Chelmsford wowing a crowd in excess of 30,000 in summer 2007.
Other major highlights include being recruited to support successful artists such as ‘Ross Copperman‘, ‘Bucks Fizz’, ‘Eton Road‘ and ‘Gareth Gates‘. In turn, they have built up a stage presence that sets them apart from any other band on the unsigned scene today.
Not content with just playing live, Ten Floors also have made time to record three studio EP’s, including the critically acclaimed EP, ‘Easy Come, Easy Go‘. As well as the digital single, in January 2008 Ten Floors released their most recent CD, ‘The Apple Tree EP‘ which includes recent single and title track ‘The Apple Tree’, as well as more new songs produced and recorded by Mickey Dale from Embrace.
During Easter 2008, Ten Floors ventured back into the studio to experiment, upon which new track ‘When The Stars Hit The Sky!’ was recorded and then streamed online at the band’s MySpace and Facebook profiles.
Ten Floors have proved themselves not only to be able to craft creative songs with meaning and instant likeability, but also with the power of longevity - being the secret to their undeniable success so far.
With originality, style, and talent to make it to the top, ‘Ten Floors’ are aiming true and high.

“The Apple Tree is a superb piece of mature melodic pop rock (with hints of Coldplay or Athlete)... Gorgeous expressive vocal tones from star in the making Josh Carruthers. Ten Floors have an incredible sound for such a young age, the band are certainly ones to watch... Ten Floors could really develop into something special”.

“A brilliant song... Great music... Good luck!”
Stuart Fowler,
Presenter - Cable Radio Milton Keynes


“Their new album [Easy Come, Easy Go] sound is fresh, piano laden pop with strong vocals. The album gets off to a great start with ‘Goodbye’ and finishes off with the very layered and mature ‘Save Me’. They are definitely destined for great things”.
Halifax Evening Courier

“Next it was past their bed time but the four 15-year olds from Brighouse that make up Ten Floors oozed confidence. The lead singer, also the keyboard player, had a voice that soothed your body and rang out with passion and conviction”.
