Today, Yorkshire trio FloodHounds share their brand new music video for their latest single ‘Black & Blue’. The track, which has become a firm fan favourite since its initial release back in September 2025, showcases the band at their fuzzy, foot stomping finest.
An admission of uncertainty, ‘Black & Blue’ captures the volatile space between falling apart and reaching out. It reaches a raw surge of adrenaline that hits when you’re exhausted by the world, yet still find the spark to swing back. Characterised by FloodHounds signature fuzz-pot bluesy rock attitude, the song is bursting with charming punk snarl attitude from the moment you hit play. A seamless fit for their existing discography, ‘Black & Blue’ is up there with the band’s best yet.
Speaking about the track, frontman Jack Flynn shares:
“Black & Blue is a song about being floored by something you didn’t see coming. The feeling of being knocked back and left reeling, when you can’t quite make sense of what’s just happened. The lyrics circle around that frustration, asking why you feel so defeated but not really getting an answer. It’s the sound of grappling with someone or something else’s impact on you, that sense of being bruised in the aftermath but still running on adrenaline.”
From winning BBC Introducing slots at Tramlines to playing iconic venues in Paris, FloodHounds have spent years sharpening their edge alongside bands like Kid Kapichi, The Family Rain, The Blinders, PINS, Projector, King Nun, Strange Bones, and Calva Louise across the UK
Having emerged from the studio with a stack of new tracks produced by Gavin Monaghan (Kid Kapichi, The Blinders). With support from Apple Music, Amazon Music, and BBC Radio, the band is currently sitting on their strongest material to date.
FloodHounds’ have even made it global, when a group of Japanese actors and filmmakers independently created their own music video for the band’s track ‘Quicksand.’ This new music video though is the sole creation of frontman Jack, who shares:
“We shot all of this ourselves, just on a phone and zero budget. The video cost nothing but my precious time, which every independent musician knows, is worthless…but I think it came out pretty cool”
