The feature introduces readers to First Floor Highway’s distinctive sound, the band’s Albuquerque roots, and the Indigenous influences that continue to shape its music and identity. As the band continues to expand its reach through new releases, performances, radio, and media coverage, appearing in the pages of SAY Magazine marks another exciting milestone. 

We’re incredibly proud to have First Floor Highway included in an issue dedicated to empowerment, celebration, and Indigenous creativity, and grateful for the opportunity to share our own brand of Indigenous-Inspirited Rock ’N’ Roll with SAY Magazine’s readers across Indian Country and beyond.

First Floor Highway’s new single Bring The Ruin has been featured by the Cherokee One Feather in an in-depth interview exploring the song’s origins, the band’s evolving sound, and its place within contemporary Indigenous music. Written by Ann Toineeta, the August 2026 article examines how the group transformed an earlier song by Native band Blood for Soil, creating new music, rearranging the lyrics, and adding a new verse while preserving the spirit of the original idea. The feature also introduces guitarist Daniel Coburn and his work on Bring The Ruin, which signals a slight new direction for the band while remaining rooted in the melodic, familiar, and distinctly Indigenous-inspirited rock ’n’ roll that has defined the group’s music. Beyond the new single, the interview highlights First Floor Highway’s commitment to supporting Native artists, building community, and the growing conversation surrounding modern Indigenous art. The recognition from the Cherokee One Feather marks another meaningful step in the band’s expanding presence throughout Indian Country and the independent music landscape.

First Floor Highway was recently featured in a spotlight interview on Indigenous in Music with Larry K, a nationally syndicated radio program dedicated to sharing the music and stories of Indigenous artists from across the Western Hemisphere. During the program, First Floor Highway discusses the band’s debut album, Under The Sun, and its powerful new single, “Bring The Ruin,” while listeners are introduced to the group’s signature blend of Indigenous-inspirited rock ’n’ roll and contemporary songwriting. Broadcast through four radio networks and heard on more than 100 stations throughout the United States, Indigenous in Music with Larry K has spent nearly two decades creating space for Native musicians across rock, pop, country, electronic music, and more. The interview marks another meaningful milestone for First Floor Highway as the band’s music continues to travel beyond Albuquerque, reaching new listeners throughout Indian Country and the wider independent music community. The First Floor Highway interview begins approximately 30 minutes into the program.
