MP3 Florez - Yellow Shoes EP
4 MP3 Songs
POP: Pop/Rock, ROCK: 90''s Rock
Details:
FLOREZ hails from Nashville, TN and consists of Alex Florez (lead vocal, guitar) and Erik Huffman (bass, vocal). Having met in 1999 as undergraduates at Furman University, they are a family. They are ever-developing, and perpetually pushing both themselves and their music. They bring a fresh voice to music and create songs that connect to the heart of people by confronting real life and real questions. However, their fun nature suggests that they don’t believe in taking life or themselves too seriously.
With an impressive number of songs in its catalog, FLOREZ took a serious look at its future. Stripping down to their fundamentals, Alex and Erik narrowed that overwhelming list of tunes to a handful of strong pop rock songs that show their true musical hues. Alex’s unique style of guitar playing paired with the duo’s desire to ramp up the entertainment factor at their shows directed them to finding a strong harmonious niche. What the future holds is up to fate and fans, but FLOREZ aspirations are lofty.

PRESS
“FLOREZ delivers a sound that is fresh and ultimately their own. The entire album has a certain excitement factor wrapped around it, it jumps out of the speakers and I think that''s the reason why folks are drawn to this band!”
- Mike Vasilikos, PD 89.7 WTMD
“Fast-rising stars of the Southeastern music scene, FLOREZ fuses blues, roots, and pop music into an all embracing modern rock punch…the band’s passionately earnest pop melodies will undoubtedly earn them a whole new sea of fans.”
- Nashville Rage Magazine
“FLOREZ is the kind of band you encounter on a local level that makes you wonder not if they’ll break big, but when. FLOREZ is tight and professional, its sound is slick, their members have musical training, and their look is pinup-worthy.”
- In Style, Richmond VA
“Tennessee’s FLOREZ is a rare gem and their latest album is a pleasing display of musicianship and strong catchy writing. Their album could be loosely shoved into the acoustic-rock section of your record store. However there is a lot going on here and ‘In Flight’ is far from the next Dashboard Confessional album or anything other than a living, breathing, multifaceted musical organism.”
- State of Emergency, UK
“FLOREZ is dynamic, not only lyrically but also in their musical arrangement and performance on stage. I was able to distinguish each individual instrument unlike other music I’ve heard that has their sounds meshed together into one tone. FLOREZ has a class act that’s hard to beat.”
- Jared Ford, PD 90.1 WECS
“Imagine musical and lyrical hooks that the average pop star would kill for; throw in the instrumentation and skills of your favorite jam band; and top it all off with an eclectic blend of influences and you might begin to get an idea. Call it whatever you want, you’ll love it.”
- Pelican Publishing
“This handsome [Nashville, Tennessee] quartet come equipped with a lush rural jangle that branches out on stage into banjofied bluegrass leanings, a Hendrix cover, lilting pop, and a talking blues that references the Bible…”
- Chuck Eddy, Village Voice
“FLOREZ is one of the hottest bands to take root in the fertile intellectual and creative soil of Furman University. While Alex Florez and his band still draw their dedicated Furman fans, the band has gone pro, with a full-time touring schedule that’s gaining a big fan base that’s catching fire with the same speed of say, Dave Matthews. FLOREZ dishes out tasty and addictive acoustic-driven pop-rock that’s influenced by everyone from Stevie Ray Vaughn and Hendrix to Nirvana and Guns ''n'' Roses to Lauryn Hill.”
- The Handlebar Online, Greenville SC
“Just call it FLOREZ fever. It seems that once people are exposed to the FLOREZ sound they just can’t help but become part of their rapidly growing fan base.”
- The All State, Austin Peay State University
