Floor

Despite seeming like they could never stay together very long, Floor would go on to become an influential band in the doom/sludge world thanks to their signature guitar tone and fusion of heavy metal and power pop influences. Formed in 1992 by guitarists Steve Brooks and Anthony Vialon along with drummer Betty Monteavaro (who would be replaced by Jeff Sousa the following year), the Miami, Florida trio first made a name for itself as a sludge metal outfit, releasing a number of singles and even recording the material that would be released a decade later on Dove before breaking up in 1996. It was during this time that Brooks and Vialon, who were trying to find a way to play without a bass player, came up with the droning, detuned guitar sound that would become the band's trademark. After a brief reunion in 1997, the band came back together to write new material in 2001 with Henry Wilson as its full-time drummer
