Fourth Floor Collapse is a Melbourne-based rock band.
History
Fourth Floor Collapse originated in the northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, playing their first show at the Rosemount Hotel in 1998.[1]Шаблон:Blockquote They became the most awarded unsigned band in Australia,[2] taking out the Next Big Thing Competition in 1999 and winning ten Western Australian Music Industry Awards,[3] including Most Popular Local Original Rock Act (2002).[4] The band released its debut recording Plans for Dream Homes in 2000 on the QStik Records label and its debut album, Half Deserted Streets in 2001 on Congregation Records.
In 2003 Fourth Floor Collapse released its second album, From the Cold, for which it received extensive airplay on Triple J and public radio around the country,[5] with tracks such as "Made Believe", "Sun", and "Stories Unglued".
Frustrated by the isolation of Perth the three main songwriters, Dan Forrestal, Rhys Kealley and Michael Miller relocated to Melbourne in 2005[5] adding bass player, Jesse Delaney and drummer Michael Parker.[6]Шаблон:Blockquote The group signed to Creative Vibes[5] with whom they recorded and released their third album Books with Broken Spines in 2006. Singles released from this album were, "Drink 'til You Drown", "Occupation" and "Ashes".[7] The release was followed by heavy touring by the band and by the beginning of 2008 they had clocked up over 250 shows.[6] They commenced recording their fourth album in early 2008. Шаблон:Blockquote The album, Victoria, was recorded in Melbourne; mixed in Perth by Andy Lawson (Little Birdy, Eskimo Joe & End of Fashion) and Joel Quartermain (Eskimo Joe); and mastered in Sydney, it was released on 13 October 2008.
