In 2003, it finally dawned on me that my previous band whom i had fronted had split. I took a small while to look around the Isle of Man’s music scene and noticed this was happening all too often, so I decided to go solo, because after the great times you have in a band, you must learn something: people will always want to do different things, and have different ideas.

So how would I get the message across in a live performance that the songs I write for my solo project are now band songs, without having the band? Simple! Become someone like Dave Matthews, Charlie Harper, Trent Reznor or Josh Homme, and hire and fire whoever I wanted, whenever I wanted, in a CHRIS FLOOD BAND! We have been through various line up changes since our first gig in 2006, but we have now settled on the new four piece line up.
