'Honest and angry'

"Maybe This is It" is Floor Space's third album.

The first single, "Self Destruct," released last month, was produced by John Naclerio of Nada Recording.

Naclerio, known for his work with alt-rockers My Chemical Romance and Brand New, also behind Floor Space's "Nothing Makes Sense," released in 2022.

The new 10-track LP features lyrics that reflect on the group's relatable teenage traumas.

Throughout the album, songwriter/frontman Charlie Bruno's speaks of his experiences in Catholic school and dealing with issues such as heartbreak and self-sabotage.

Moving from a negative headspace toward a more optimistic light, Bruno calls the record "honest and angry."

"[It's] yet a bright and cathartic break up record with themes ranging from punk rock politics to overcoming adversity, breaking cycles and ultimately Brunt's journey to self-acceptance," a release from Floor Space said.
