Exclusive album premiere of ‘Kool Hangs’ by Floored Faces.

In early 2020, with the world on hold Floored Faces had time to reflect on their first three years of explosive throughput, and ponder what it is that fuels the band’s creative spark and drive to produce: life-changing experiences, finding resilience in the face of adversity and hardship serve as major influence in their productivity and desire to feed their passions, knowing first-hand that life is short and can change when you least expect it.

This is not emotional fluff we’re talking about —recognizing the band has found unbelievable influence from collectively enduring the hardship of nearly losing one of its members to a heart condition, a partner to gun violence, and coming to terms with the reality of managing the mental health of loved ones.

Their new album ‘Kool Hangs’ explores the absurd yet tangible fantasy of an apocalyptic world where the only personal belongings that remain are a motocross bike and a cassette copy of Monster Magnet’s ‘Dopes to Infinity’, and a shotgun. But there’s more than that. ‘Shoot the Ground’ begins this fantasy journey as the main character scavenges for food and other people; strapped with a shotgun he vents his frustration of hours, days and weeks of loneliness. ‘I’d Be Broke’ is about time slipping away from the main character of this fantasy as ‘Now You See It’ explores mentally going against the norm, and the bands collective, real-life trauma. It’s genuine, sincere and has no pretense —a Holy Diver meets Bleach mind-melter of an album that the band cannot wait for the world to hear.
