The band formed in the summer of 2006. They released their independent debut album, The Color of Whiskey, in December, 2007. After writing a new batch of songs and touring throughout the Southern United States, the band released Dark and Bloody Ground in March 2010. The album received considerable radio play, including on Sirius Satellite Radio, the syndicated Nashville program Americana Carnival, and placed on WDVX (Knoxville, TN) DJ Red Hickey's "Best Albums of 2010." The band has played alongside multiple acts, including The Marshall Tucker Band, Shooter Jennings, Wanda Jackson, Cody Canada, Lucero, Jason and the Scorchers, Dale Watson, Blackberry Smoke, Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Reckless Kelly, Chris Knight, Whitey Morgan and the 78's, and Steepwater.

Later that year, Fifth on the Floor released a video for the song "Distant Memory Lane" from Dark and Bloody Ground. The video was directed by Blake Judd of JuddFilms.
