Floater is an Americanrockband currently based in Portland, Oregon. The band was started in 1993 by Robert Wynia, Peter Cornett and David Amador. They are known for their progressive concept albums, stylized storytelling, intense live performances, and devoted fanbase. Floater routinely sells out local venues in Oregon and periodically plays shows in the neighboring states of Washington, California, Nevada, and Idaho. Floater has played a variety of venues, including CBGB in New York and the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles. The band was also a musical guest for Live Wire Radio on OPB radio. The band has been voted the "Best Band" in the Willamette Week's "Best of Portland" reader's poll for 2009 and 2010.
History
Seminal years in Eugene: Sink & Glyph (1993-1997)
The seeds for Floater were placed when Peter Cornett moved to Eugene, Oregon and answered a musician-wanted ad placed by Robert Wynia. By 1992, they had created Henry's Child. When their guitarist got drunk and ruined a local gig, Dave Amador stepped in to replace him. The moniker of Henry's Child was quickly shed and Floater was born. It was 1993 and the new trio recorded a four-song demo and began playing small garage parties and eventually at the University of Oregon. Later, Floater recorded a nine-song demo which impressed the indie record label Elemental, who signed them soon after.
Floater's first full-length album, Sink, was released in 1994 and contained some songs from the demos. One year later, a second full-length album was released, Glyph, which increased the band's popularity in the Pacific Northwest and allowed tours further east, into Arizona, Utah and Texas.
Acoustic Live! is the first extended play (EP) by American recording artist Adam Lambert, released on December 6, 2010. The EP features acoustic versions of four songs from Lambert's debut album, For Your Entertainment, as well as his show-stopping "Mad World" rendition.
Critical reception
The album has since received mostly positive reviews. Jim Farber of NY Daily News remarks that Lambert is "downright operatic in 'Soaked' and as wild as Freddie Mercury on 'Music Again.' All the stripped background does is give Lambert more room to trill and soar." Dan Savoie of Rockstar Weekly gave the album 5 out 5 stars, saying that this acoustic EP better displays "the voice that most fell in love with each week during AI" and that it "is the best representation of Lambert’s voice to date and the CD cover resembles some of the greatest punk rock albums of all time." Lyndsey Parker of Reality Rocks also praises Lambert, saying that the entire EP "thrillingly places Adam's remarkable vocals front-and-center." Lambert's acoustic version of "Mad World" also garnered USA Today's "Pick of the Week" on December 6, 2010, with Jerry Shriver proclaiming that "there's no shortage of electricity or passion. The tale of wanting to escape from a meaningless existence sounds even more urgent as Lambert attacks his acoustic guitar and gives full-throat to that dramatic tenor voice."

Inspired by 80's and 90's West-Coast punk rock waves, but also including the catchyness of (modern) Ramonescore style bands, Sun-0-Bathers' journey began during the summer of 2017. With the goal of keeping songs fast, short yet very melodic with the occasional "ooh's" and "aah's", the band's style can be described as a romantic lovechild of Pennywise, Zeke, Adolescents, Night Birds and Guttermouth.

1st Strophe: Out for the first - the atmosphere is heavy World title lays on the line Strong and proud he is much older I am the faster I'm in my prime 2nd Strophe: Third round late he starts to tire Open cut over his left eye Smelling blood attack is relentless In the back seats I see his girl cry Chorus I: Cry - No mercy, no quarter No place to hide for me and the man Lefts and rights never came in harder No mercy, take it while you can - now! No mercy take it while you can 3rd Strophe: Back in my corner they scream ' No mercy!" ' Put him away, don't let him recover!" Someone's eyes drills holes in my head It is his proud determined mother Chorus II: Cry - No mercy, no quarter No place to hide for me or the man Right and wrong never came in harder No mercy, take it while you can - now! No mercy, take it while you can Solo 4th Strophe: I wish another could do this thing for me His eyes are flooded, doubt he can even see I hungered this title but now it don't seem right I fight back tears while I destroy his life Chorus I Chorus II
