Formed in 2003, The Wood Floors are an alternative rock band that has its roots formed in the tradition of The Afghan Whigs, The Replacements, and Guided By Voices, among others.
Singer/Songwriter/Producer, Chris Howe and Drummer, Eric Scheiner were two thirds of the Boston based band Laughingstock during the mid 90's with live appearances at Mama Kin's, The Causeway, The Ratt, CBGB's, Kendall Cafe, Kirkland Cafe, The Red Square, and Jacque's, among others. As the 90's faded so did Laughingstock.
In the early 2000's they reunited again for a short lived band called The 3971's which featured early versions of songs that later made appearances in The Wood Floors' catalog such as "Mistreated Girls" from 2006's "Enfant Terrible" and "The End Of It All" from 2004's "For Rodriguez".
The first two Floors' releases featured short post-punk songs in the tradition of The Replacement's early material, by the time the band recorded their third release "Violence" the focus went to creating material on the spot... no rehearsals, or even songs, for that matter. The following release "Knowing Girls" was recorded in the same manner. In 2004 and 2005 the band released "For Rodriguez", "Girls Inc." and "Divorce Sale" all of which continued the band's knack for song and melody.
Between 2006 and 2008 the band solidified itself with the strong releases "These Streets Won't Lead You Home", "Dry White Heat", "The Damage Is Already Done", and arguably their career best "Catwalks In The Coliseum". Never afraid to stray into bizarre territory, they also released off the cuff gems like "Real Pig" and "Every Act Of Pleasure".
Moon Dolls was released February 2010 and their latest effort, Some Girls, will be released on May 5, 2010. Some Girls is arguably the bands strongest effort to date.
