Floor Thirteen

Pop, Rock

Is it possible for an indie rock band to outsell major label pop stars? If you’re Canadian rockers Floor Thirteen —who outsold Miley Cyrus,Coldplay and Kid Rock in their hometown of Winnipeg when they released their debut album, Mmmm!— the answer is “Hell, yes.”

With the aid of Grammy-nominated producer Brandon Friesen, Mmmm! spawned the hit “Blame It On Me,” which has since been licensed to major video game company Electronic Arts and placed the song in top selling game franchises Need for Speed:Undercover and The Sims 3. These opportunities have exposed “Blame It On Me” to millions of people in over 30 countries.

Floor Thirteen includse both retro and contemporary influences in their music, and have often been compared to AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Jet, and Wolfmother. There is certainly a classic rock feel to “Blame It On Me,” but this versatility works to the band’s advantage, as their music contains something for rock fans of several genres.
In addition to having impressive placement deals, Floor Thirteen has also proven their ability as a live band, opening for the likes of Our Lady Peace, Buckcherry and 3 Doors Down. They’ve also played at both MUSEXPO Europe in London and MUSEXPO Los Angeles (including a packed room at the world famous Whisky A Go Go), and have been a featured artist on the internationally syndicated radio show Passport Approved.
