   About The Falling Floors
Our record 'Hey! Midnight' is now available for free download here.

The Falling Floors are a group of musicians in and around Manchester. When they record, it's usually just one or two of them. When they play live there are usually four or five of them. One time there was seven or eight of them, but that still wasn't enough. They mostly listen to music recorded in the 1960's, and therefore make experimental pop records. When they play live there is more 'experimental' than 'pop'. They've recorded two or three albums worth of material but haven't released any of it yet because they are broke and releasing records costs way more than recording them does.

We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.

Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.

I didn't realise we weren't already friends on here either! Must be because my music myspace has been a bit inactive until not long ago. Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you like it. One of my friends really doesn't like it, haha. I felt disheartened for a short moment but I'm over it, and about to start on a new song.
Keep up the good work Jolan, all your material is brilliant as I've told you many a time xxx

Splendid work on the album; it's wonderfully catchy.  Catchy enough that there is usually at LEAST one of your tracks on my morning playlist every day. 

Aye, Simon over and out.
