Hello, we are a band from Colorado!
We’re Florissant!
Nice to meet you.
We are a midwest emo/punk/pop punk/post hardcore band from Colorado Springs, CO. Influenced by many artists from all genres, every member of this band individually brings something different and special to the table to ensure that our music is as creative and original as possible.
Our music is a perpetual identity crisis in the best way possible. Our songs vary a lot in style, but mesh together for a concoction of nostalgia. If your in your late 20’s or 30’s, you’ll appreciate our nod to the early 2000’s. If your younger, you’ll appreciate our upbeat flavor. There is a littles something for everyone and we always bring high energy to our live performances.

Florissant Lore – The Origin Story of Our Band Name
This is a story recently learned by me, the copy writer of this website. Maybe no one reads this stuff. Maybe we’ll be cool enough someday for this to matter to somebody, so here goes nothin.’ This band originated in Colorado Springs, CO and just up the road, beyond the twists and turns of a couple of mountain passes lies a sleepy old gold mining town that is named –– you guessed it, Florissant. One of the founding members dated a girl from Florissant, and legend has it, their relationship failed (of course it did, how else would we come up with content for our songs). Naming the band Florissant was a bit of a poke at her.
Failed relationships and the growth that occurs thereafter, has been a tradition that has carried on with our current members.The content that occurs as a byproduct is the gold that we pan for nowadays. In all seriousness, we all have lived a lot of life and our lyrical content has a lot of deep personal meaning that comes pouring out of us. Sometimes songs may seem like they are about failed relationships, when they are indeed not. Sometimes they are straight up about failed relationships. If you ever see us, make sure to ask us if we are named after Florissant. It is our least favorite question.
