BIOGRAPHY

Known for blasts of stomping fuzzed-up indie guitar, savage riffs and hook-heavy choruses; Yorkshire’s FloodHounds deliver tight rabble-rousing live shows - bursting with startlingly jagged guitar, driving bass and wild rhythmic drums. Lyrically catchy, the Indie rock trio’s powerful punk-infused and darkly melodic tunes, stay with you long after the gig. 

Floodhounds have played live all over the country and put on their own headline shows, playing sets on the festival circuit at Isle Of Wight, Liverpool Sound City, Brighton Alt Escape, Live at Leeds and Tramlines fringe, sharing stages with Demob Happy, Saint Agnes, False Heads & The Mysterines. They have also played sold out support slots with the likes of Kid Kapichi, The Blinders, PINS, Projector, King Nun, Strange Bones & Calva Louise. The band have also ventured abroad to play in Paris twice at the iconic Parisian venues Supersonic and Le Truskel.

Kicking off 2023 with new gigs and two new singles lined up, look out for new single ‘Psychosemantics’ a punchy, rocking and melodic guitar-layered indie track, as well as a live set video for London’s Hot Vox. New gigs include supporting Trampolene; Portsmouth’s Icebreaker Festival and headlines in London, Derby and hometown Sheffield with more out soon. 

Bass player Anna Melidone joined in 2022 and found her early gigs with Jack Flynn (Guitar/Vocals) and Lauren Greaves (Drums) a baptism of fire, from a rammed Tramlines Fringe set; to curating their own hometown headline show for the opening night of Sensoria Festival, playing Wentworth Festival along the way, and returning to Nottingham’s sold out Bodega to support Kid Kapichi, where they were invited back to support Brighton’s Projector end of 2022.

FloodHounds have been playlisted on BT TV, receiving Sensoria’s songwriting awards from Richard Hawley. FloodHounds have put out live streams and sessions for platforms such as, Jagermeister, 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 in their category.

QUOTES

“A DIY assault of brash riffs and a nastily menacing guitar, this three piece messily blend garage rock with bluesy indie rock, a fast paced bite of dark grungy energy layered over their sound. They have a thunderous sound, one which is a uniquely eclectic fusion of genres”  - Indie Underground Blog / Some Might Say Zine

“A riff laden, rock heavy, psychedelia packed beast of a tune” - Gigslutz / This Feeling Track Of The Day

“Floodhounds bring more than just a raw edge to their music. The band come through with a superior knack for writing a catchy hook and immersing it into a darker soundscape – ‘Stepping Stone’ is nothing less than a showcase of the bands immense and dynamic songwriting ability.” - Yack Magazine

“This band are a must for anyone that likes riff-heavy psychedelia ‘Take It Too Far’ is a slamming blend of Oasis and Black Sabbath” - Ireland’s Hot Press Magazine (Hot for 2019 List)

“This three-piece from England is tighter than tupperware with catchy hooks, guitar mastery and an absolute machine gun of a drummer, ripping snare bullets at anyone in her way. Its rare that vocals are not the centrepiece of a gig. This band’s energy comes from the frontman's orbit around the drummer, with a red hot bassist to mop it all up” - Paris Supernova review of our gig at Supersonic in Paris

“I knew Saturday’s sold-out gig was set to be a good’un the minute I entered the venue. FloodHounds immediately enraptured the venue with the first track ‘Wide Awake’. Some riveting debuts of new material appeared to down well with the old (and new) fans; lucky enough to witness this brilliant show from a great up-and-coming band.”
- Words for Music Review of our sold out show with BlackWaters & Avalanche Party

“A thunderous, delightfully messy mix of indie, garage-rock, blues and grunge” - Pirate Studios

“It is a fantastic song that gets into the blood and stays with you. The trio are among the most solid and fascinating around and you would do well to follow what they do.” - Music Musings and Such Blog

“Go see them live, they’re one of the finest bands this city has produced and I cannot recommend their live performance highly enough. Caught them at Tramlines Festival - absolutely on form!”  - BBC Introducing Sheffield’s host Christian Carlisle, a consistent supporter, said as FloodHounds made his Top 30 Tracks of the year

"The frontman’s riffing mastery of a single guitar introduces hints of genius, whilst tracks such as ‘Cold Air’ and ‘The Fear’ possess basslines that Nick O’Malley would pay bottom dollar for. And it’s about time we had another female drummer on the scene." - Exposed Magazine

FloodHounds are; “Raw, plucky, spirited and confident, basically everything you could ever wish for from a young UK breakthrough group,” - Record of the Day

“lyrically wonderful progressive rock that has an element of charm. You'll be hard pushed to find many better examples doing the rounds.” - It's All Indie Blog

"FloodHounds are masterful when it comes to crafting loveable anthems and music that gets straight into the head. FloodHounds show they have depth and are capable of presenting something quite emotive and revealing without crowding it with noise and anger." - Music Musings and Such Blog

“A riptide of swelling vibrations and harmonising melodies, drums thunder, and bass echoes, the vocals climb into the ring as sweet as honey, but ready to land a knockout punch. This EP genuinely impressed me, and FloodHounds are certainly a diamond in the rough of the South Yorkshire music scene.” - Reyt Good Music Magazine

"Not your average band! A very well gelled band with loads of character to match. VERY atmospheric, lots of ’70s’ melodies, almost ‘shoegaze’ in parts, but definitely has a kick to it. Each riff a startling compliment on the last." - Northern Exposure
