FLOORS, THE - Beat It Down (Sealed) (LP)

Genre: heavy psych garage punk The Floors come from Perth, Australia. Beat It Down was recorded over four days, direct to 8-track, in the studio of Dan Carroll (The Kill Devil Hills, Timothy Nelson), imbuing the album's 10 songs with an energy and authenticity that's as infectious as it is omnipresent. The acclaimed trio of musos - guitarist Luke Dux, bassist Ryan Dux and drummer Ash Doodkorte - have made good on more than five years of gigging and growing together as artists to deliver a polished - but not too polished - collection of inward-looking, outwardly rockin' tunes jammed full of fiery riffs, powerful bass and relentless drum lines. It's straight-up delicious from top to tail.
