Florist Fired

Merging the Swell Maps-inspired tumultuous clamor of their debut EP Hiddenforbidden, the addictive 2-minute anthems on Today It's You, and the epic joyful dirges from Record In Red, Florist Fired has it all. Although principle songwriter Jorma Whittaker possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of Beatles-esque melodies and is likely to cite John Lennon and friends as his musical influences, Florist Fired leaves listeners with the unmistakable feeling that the band owes much more to a Keith Richards-led Stones swagger - without the budget or access to premium pharmaceuticals.
