“A riff laden, rock heavy, psychedelia packed beast of a tune" - GigSlutz 'Track Of The Day'.
FloodHounds deliver tight rabble-rousing live shows bursting with startlingly jagged guitar, driving bass and wild rhythmic drums with side-swipes of distorted harmonica. Lyrically catchy, the Indie rock trio’s powerful punk and blues infused tunes, stay with you long after the gig.
Thanks to a new line up and new music, the band have landed a string of excellent shows. New bass player Anna Melidone joined Jack Flynn (Guitar/Vocals) and Lauren Greaves (Drums). Her first gigs post lockdown were a baptism of fire, from a rammed Tramlines Fringe set; to curating their own hometown headline show for the opening night of Sensoria Festival 2021, playing Wentworth Festival along the way, and returning to Nottingham’s sold out Bodega to support Kid Kapichi in November.
Pre-lockdown highlights include being playlisted on BT TV, receiving Sensoria’s Songwriting awards from Richard Hawley, and playing major festivals like Isle Of Wight, Liverpool Sound City and Brighton Alt Escape. Alongside their own sold-out headline shows, the band have relished playing packed support slots for the likes of The Blinders; Calva Louise, King Nun, Childcare, BlackWaters, Strange Bones and PINS, and sharing festival stages with Demob Happy, Saint Agnes, False Heads & The Mysterines. The band have even ventured twice to play in Paris.
During live music closures FloodHounds were busy putting out live streams and sessions for platforms such as, Jägermeister, God Is In The TV Zine *and *Wentworth Festival; as well as self-producing a 10-track acoustic album and an animated video made by Jack, for ‘Out Of Time’. They made Record Store Day’s national video competition’s final shortlist, and their technically ambitious ‘Take It Too Far' video, placed 2nd in the** London Music Video Festival 2020** category.
FloodHounds latest single, “Panic Stations” is out in March “We’ve all been labouring under an air of uncertainty, the song echoes us hurtling out of lockdown into reality. The takeaway is that sticking together will serve us better than alienation and blind panic,” says guitarist Jack Flynn. Previous singles 'Out Of Time' and ‘Something Primeval’ scored numerous Track of The Week spots and premiered on BBC Introducing as Record of The Week, notching up over 25 independent blog reviews. ”A track that’s in-your-face from the word go with razor-sharp riffs and chugging guitars” - (Mix It All Up) and “As a band that is loved for their raucous live energy, FloodHounds’ fiery brand of blues-inspired punk shines in ‘Something Primeval’. With every scream of the guitar and every electrifying vocal line, you are compelled to stop and listen,” (From Sophia With Love Blog).
