In the valleys and hills of Northern Ireland, lies a small town called Omagh in County Tyrone. In this town, graces an upcoming band called TopFloor.
It all started in 2002 when we were grouped together (Paul, Peter and Adam) to do a Christmas concert for our school, Drumragh College. From there we grew into TopFloor. At first we gathered our ideas and thoughts on what type of band we wanted to be. Adam and Peter brought their influences from a more rock and metal side, Metallica, Foo Fighters etc. and Paul brought his influences from bands such as Oasis and Stereophonics. Although, this mixture is from one end of the spectrum to another, it worked and it gelled together.
From here we began to start writing and creating our own music. Paul had already written some songs, which we all discussed and re-designed to produce what we have as you see before you. In the summer of 2002, we produced our first CD, "I Thought That I'd Find You Here" with 5 tracks of original material. It was received very well, with air play on local radio stations and also being sold in local record stores. The ball started to roll.
In 2003 we entered into a "Stars in Your Eyes" competition, which included bands and performers all across Northern Ireland, which we successfully won. The prize included a recording of a CD and prize money. In 2004 we made our second CD, which consisted of 2 tracks "Destroying Me" and "Say You Will". We used this CD as promotion and again it was received very well.
We are available for weddings, parties or formals.
