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 Tramlines, Y-Not, Isle Of Wight, Liverpool Sound City, Brighton Alt Escape, Live at Leeds, 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.
2025 began with the release of an animated video for 'Near-Life Experience' by VFX artist Grainfreeze (Oasis, Noel Gallagher). This followed the surreal experience of a Japanese film crew independently creating their own music video for 'Quicksand’. Other recent highlights for the band include being shortlisted for Kerrang/Marshall Records competition for a slot at Download Festival, narrowly missing out to the eventual winners. The band received encouraging songwriting advice from Noel Gallagher to ramp up the attitude, which paid off when that spirit was channeled into the fiery new single ‘One Horse Race’ which immediately leapfrogged previous singles streaming numbers on release. FloodHounds recent singles have all scored numerous track of the week spots, repeat spins on BBCintroducing and even editorial playlists Apple Music's All New Rock and Amazon’s Breakthrough Rock.
New music has already been recorded, so keep an eye out for ‘Black & Blue’ a frenetic punk tempest of a tune, and the swaggering leviathan of monstrously heavy riffs, ‘Own Worst Enemy’ both coming later this year along with a swathe of gigs across the country.
