In this episode of The Underknown, I sit down with the four members of the UK-based rock band Florentenes — a group that feels like your favorite new discovery and your favorite old record at the same time.
We talk about writing lyrics that roll off the tongue, finding your sound, and how to use guitar solos and drum breaks to write fewer lyrics. They’re thoughtful, self-aware, and talented as hell — the kind of band you can’t help but root for.

EP 05: Florentenes

Before they’re selling out venues—before they’re playlist darlings—you’ll find them here. The Underknown captures artists at that crucial moment: after they’ve found their voice, but before everyone else discovers them. Host Yon Perullo sits down with emerging musicians for conversations that dig beyond the music into the journey, struggles, and moments of revelation that shaped them. It’s like those deep-dive interviews famous artists get, except we’re having them now—at the beginning of their story. Raw. Real. Just before the world catches on.
