Hit the Floor

Hit the Floor are an Alternative Indie-Pop band comprised of 5 hilarious, talented and gorgeous musicians and formed in Digbeth, the creative heart of Birmingham. The band started out in October 2018 with only 3 members - Sam Cooper on the drums, Olly May on guitar and Carys Lewis on the mic. They begun sharing their individual music tastes and experimenting with their sound. From the get-go the band had a broad range of influences, from the likes of Two Door Cinema Club and The Wombats to The Free Nationals and Fleetwood Mac. By January 2019 they had picked up 2 new members, Louis Maylin on the bass and Brendan Ryan on lead guitar.


The band released their debut single, ‘Shoes’ in May 2020 and were overwhelmed by the response from both new and old fans. ‘Shoes’ embodies the band’s Pop-Punk influences and merges them with elements of Funk, Rock and Indie to create a fun, high energy track with a complete unique sound.


Their second single City Tricks’, explores a very different side of this young bands musical palette. Hit the Floor once again deliver complete originality with this track, and by incorporating elements of Jazz into their Indie style, and with some Neo-Soul inspired vocals, ‘City Tricks’ is a beautifully crafted feast for your ears.

These five musicians have a flare for songwriting, a natural chemistry on and off the stage, and most importantly professional musicianship beyond their years which really sets them apart.
