BK: How did you guys come together?
Krin: I first knew Tob at university and we played music together. Then we met Sam and Vat who studied at different places and we started to play together.

BK: Why did you name yourselves Art Floor?
Krin: It’s actually doesn’t have any meaning. I have used it with other bands before which split up. But I liked this name so I asked everyone if we could use it; they said OK.

BK: How did you join RS?
Krin: We had been playing at the pubs before RS opened a music space for creative indie music. So we went for an audition and they signed us on for their first indie segment band.

BK: Weren’t you worried that RS would change the style of Art Floor?
Krin: We weren’t. No one comes and tells us what to do and what to write.

BK: What makes Art Floor stand out from other bands?
Krin: Our bassist can dance! Well, it’s probably because of the format of the lyrics that are more poetic with instruments that stands out quite well. There is happiness, sadness, and depth.

BK: Tell us about your new single “Fon Pram”.
Krin: After we put out our EP last year, we came back with this new single which ended up climbing the charts on radio stations like Fat FM.

BK: Is the new album different?
Tob: We added more rhythm and more hard rock because our last album had too many slow songs which wasn’t great for making our concerts lively.

BK: What do you think of bands covering other songs when they play in pubs instead of their own material?
Tob: Well, it’s really difficult to be a big band with loads of hit songs. There are very few bands in Thailand that have like 15 songs which everyone knows.
Krin: It’s a way to advertise yourself by playing two of your songs and one song by someone else.

BK: Did you have any unusual experiences in concert?
Krin: We accidentally played for some kindergarten students. We went to the wrong school while touring universities in different provinces. The kids were crying and some of the mothers just carried them out but we continued anyway. Interview by Narisa Pokunchanan and Heyun Kim
