“Who the $&% is Floral Terrace?!” is a question the band learned to embrace last autumn after bursting onto the radar in mid 2008. As a young band in New York's highly competitive Hudson Valley music scene, the group is based around one singular concept - writing catchy guitar driven music that they themselves and others will enjoy. But what makes one band stand out in such an over-saturated market? Eighteen year old front Man Justin Olori admits “it hasn’t been easy getting noticed. You just have to love and believe in your music and hope people can see, feel, and hear it in your work.” After years of knowing each other and countless local bands between the 3 of them, Justin and childhood friend George Bosotina partnered up with drummer John Damiano to begin putting the puzzle pieces together. Local music buff Brian Millagram quickly grew into the roll of rhythm guitarist and brought the new dynamic of tasteful backing vocals to the table. Olori chose to put down the bass in early 2009 to focus solely on singing.
In less than one year the band has had the opportunity to support such acts as Straylight Run, The Friday Night Boys, Every Avenue, and Envy on the Coast throughout the greater New York area and has gained quite an internet following. After achieving quick success regionally, the band took to the road with friends Artist Vs Poet, Racing Kites, and TVTV for their first time. Subsequent tours with The Ready Set, Go Crash Audio, Backseat Goodbye and Goot took the band to new places as far away from home as Denver, northern Florida, Dallas, and Chicago. Floral Terrace; or Flo Teezy, as their fans affectionately refer to them; has currently played in 25 of the 48 Continental Unites States and has over 50,000 friends following them on Myspace .
Approaching their one year anniversary, Floral Terrace remains optimistic about their future and continues to work on what will be their studio album debut . “A lot of bands get really worked up about the music industry” says George Bosotina. “We just want to write an album we believe in and take it to the world. Whether by ourselves, or with the support of a record label, we are coming!”
