FLOODHOUNDS EPK

“A riff laden, rock heavy, psychedelia packed beast” - Gigslutz

A blast of stomping, fuzzed up guitar, savage drums and punchy bass by South Yorkshire trio FloodHounds taps into the melody of indie, the grit of blues and the fury of punk. Touching on lyrical themes of remaining unified instead of giving in to alienation and uncertainty, new track ‘Panic Stations’ pairs FloodHounds’ potent lyricism with their unruly live energy to form their trademark melodic and swaggering groove.

NEW SINGLE ‘PANIC STATIONS’ - RELEASED 11th March 2022

SHORT BIO - 147 words

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.
