"Dancefloor" is the third single from the North London indie group The Holloways. It was released on 26 March 2007 on TVT Records and debuted at #41 in the UK charts. [1] [2] The B-side to the single, " Up the Junction", is a cover of Squeeze's 1979 song.

The song was included on The Holloways' 2006 debut album So This is Great Britain?.

Reception

Norman Records' review stated that the song was a "pretty bland commercial indie pop that does little in the way of entertaining." [3]

Spin's David Peisner states "On the charging, anthemic "Dancefloor", co-frontman Alfie Jackson dissects a night out clubbing in withering emotional detail. [4]

NME states "Like an octogenarian boxer coming out for one last fight, The Holloways serve up the sweaty chips after the disappointment of each of their songs that isn’t " Generator". It’s still the same night-on-the-tiles larks." [5]

Popmatters described it as being "infectious, Futureheads-meets- The Clash". [6]
