Florist Sign to Ripple Music
Congratulations to Floridian heavybringers Florist on signing to Ripple Music following their well-received 2025 outing, Adrift (review here). The label will oversee a vinyl pressing of the short-album-type offering this summer as the band continue to build momentum through Spring touring — you’ll see three thus-far announced dates below, the first of them at Legalize Lex‘s pre-show — and word of mouth.
You might recall Florist toured last year with Hollow Leg ahead of Adrift‘s release, the two bands making their way up the Eastern Seaboard around slots at the final Maryland Doom Fest. I don’t know what they’ve got in the works for 2026 beyond what’s been said below, but if the priority is knuckling down and putting togeter an album that knocks people on their ass, I don’t think their time would be misspent even if they weren’t going door-to-door at dive bars.
Credit where it’s due, this news broke on the ‘Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour’ podcast (I was on a conference thing with those guys and a few others this weekend; fascinating times; they’re nice though in my experience), and the following was posted on socials afterward by guitarist/vocalist Frankie Consoli:
Florist just signed a record deal with Ripple Music! So your boy and the homies are now legitimately signed artists! That being said, thank you all so much for supporting us, believing in us, and telling people about us (especially you Rich Piva). As I say on stage, we are Florist, now you are Florist. I truly mean that. There is no Florist without you. 🙏🏼
Ripple will be releasing and distributing Adrift on vinyl worldwide come this summer, and we are already working on music for our next album which will be fully released under the Ripple label.
