Floor

 

Floor is a sludge/stoner band from Miami, Florida. Floor was formed in 1992 by Steve Brooks (guitar), Anthony Vialon (bass), and Betty Monteavaro (drums). Jeff Sousa became the drummer in late 1993, and Steve and Anthony switched to just having two low-tuned guitars with no bassist. Several vinyl-only 7" EPs were released until their first break in 1996. They reformed with a new line-up for one show in 1997 with Henry Wilson on drums and practiced only occasionally until 2001.This time they finally released their first full-length album, self-titled 'Floor', before splitting in 2003 for good.
Steve Brooks went on to form the band Torche. Henry Wilson went on to form the bands Dove and House of Lightning. Anthony Vialon focused on theology. The band reformed in 2010 for a reunion tour to support the release of 'Below & Beyond', an 8-CD/10-LP box set encompassing their entire career and occasionally get together to play shows.
