Porter’s ‘Behind the Banlieue’ is a Mounting Prog-Rock Track
February 3, 2024

Porter achieves prog rock brilliance with their latest single, ‘Behind the Banlieue’. A tsunamic sonic course that is mounted with deep and delving riffs, dimensional basslines and a hypnotic soul. The soundscape seems to have an innate drive, a natural energy and the band absorbs its pulses, takes its cues, and builds it up with their own emotion and gusto. This concert is so seamless and congruent that it is impossible to tell which came first, the vision or the song.

Q&A with Porter – A Dystopian look “Behind the Banlieue”
January 30, 2024

Progressive ALT Rock band Porter from Germany introduced us to a ficticious city called “Genosha” (a tip of the hat to a place by the same name in the Marvel Comic universe) with their single “Tax Free Hollows” last November. They set the stage, as it were, for things to come in the band’s much anticipated third album, also titled “Genosha.” Shortly thereafter, in late December the band released a follow up single from the album, and their latest single (as of the time of this review) “Behind the Banlieue.”

March 17, 2024

Porter is a progressive alternative rock band hailing from Germany. They’ve been on the scene for a while now, but it was their brand new single ‘Sally’ that really caught my attention! I then dived a little further into their discography and discovered a seriously tight and impressive act who, I believe, deserves a bigger audience!

Cru cru Porter, super nice to have the chance to chat with you.
February 25, 2024

How do you feel the Internet has impacted the rock business?
Well, that’s pretty simple. It democratises the business. We come from the 90s, when you still had to stick tapes on and send them by letter to organisers and magazines. You phoned or – seriously – even faxed them to communicate. Record companies ripped you off because they could and were the gatekeepers you couldn’t get past.

How did you approach the arrangement and composition of the music for „Tout Est Pardonné?“
Lars: The songwriting process usually starts with me improvising on the guitar. It’s a jumble of riffs and chord progressions for quite a while. At some point, an initial idea emerges that sounds to me like it could be the basis for a new song.

Echoes of Resistance: PORTER’s “Tout Est Pardonné” Channels Sophie Scholl’s Defiant Spirit
9 May, 2024

The song’s message takes on a broader scope with the inclusion of a news excerpt about the global response to the Paris attacks. This subtle detail suggests that “Tout Est Pardonné” isn’t just about a single historical event. It’s a commentary on the dangers of extremism in all its forms and a powerful reminder of the importance of global solidarity in the face of violence and oppression.

Porter Gear Up for ‘Genosha’ with Cracking Single ‘Tout Est Pardonné’
May 3, 2024

With each listen, the song’s intricacies and depth reveal themselves, and I find that to be true of many Porter tunes. Their work is complex, and layered, and leaves me somewhat in awe of their musical craftsmanship. ‘Genosha’ can’t come soon enough. It’s a record that I’m dying to hear in full. What a track!

The song portrays a symbol of heroism and humanity against a terrible background. This song cautions us not to forget about the tragedies of the past and depicts the hope factor, even when things get totally out of your control in the universe. With the word and music, the song “Tout est pardonné” reveals the fundamental nature to Dylan Scholl’s character that is marked by the unbreakable strength of his will against the enemy.

“Tout Est Pardonné” : Un Voyage Lyrique Au Cœur De L’Âme Humaine Avec PORTER
April 27, 2024

À l’intersection de la mélodie et du message, “Tout Est Pardonné” déploie ses ailes lyriques. La voix de lead, empreinte de sincérité brute, porte des mots chargés de réminiscences et de promesses, naviguant avec aisance sur un océan de cordes vibrantes et de percussions pensives. La guitare, tantôt apaisante, tantôt électrisante, dessine les contours d’un paysage sonore où chaque note semble naître d’un souffle intérieur, chaque silence clame son poids en émotions.

Porter’s latest single, “Tout Est Pardonné,” is a musical journey that cuts through the soul with raw emotion and powerful instrumentation.
April, 2024

Porter can carve out their unique musical world by drawing influences from bands like Foo Fighters in their musical composition and occasionally echoing the vocal metrics of R.E.M. One notable arrangement is the reverberated, megaphonic voice that launches into the chorus. It’s a hauntingly beautiful moment that adds depth and dimension to the song, pulling listeners deeper into its emotive core.

‘Sally’ is their third single release from their upcoming album ‘Genosha’. With a runtime of a little less than five minutes, each frame and sonic arc is liberating. It is emphatic with imprintive values. Strong undercurrents of psychedelia rage and reverberate through the strings. It surfaces intensely in the bridge, a surreal electric rock plane before culminating in a storm of prog rock.

Good Day Noir Family,
Prepare to be pummeled, music fans, because Porter’s new single “Sally” hits like a German tank with impeccable taste.

Their sound is deep, powerful, and built on a rhythm section that locks in like twin shadows. The guitar riffs are pure muscle, driving the song forward with an infectious energy.

But Porter doesn’t just rely on brute force. The chord progression in “Sally” is anything but banal, taking unexpected turns and keeping you guessing with its harmonic variations.

Violence has many faces. Be it psychological or social in nature. The mere fact that women do not have the same opportunities as men causes incredible suffering and creates inequalities that damage the individual, but ultimately also society.

Musically I love the drum sound they achieved on this track. The snare is punchy, and you don’t lose the kick drum at any point in the mix. The guitar tone is slick with soaring guitar leads over crunchy rhythms allowing dissonance to ring out over a steady driving bass. Their apporach genre-wise, is an interesting mix that can veer into a sinister Grunge vibe, but sounds very Prog throughout.

The main reason that Porter manages to find new places to explore in the, let’s face it, heavily mined-out rock and roll landscape is because of the varied interests of those in the band. It goes without saying that if you gather any number of musicians together to make music, and they are all fans of, say Iron Maiden or Oasis, then the sound they will make together is likely to echo with the sound of Iron Maiden or Oasis. Gather fans of various sounds and styles – metal, punk, indie, even the singer-songwriter format – and the result of their mixing and matching and melding and molding of the music will result in something slightly familiar but fresh.

Maybe the meaning gets a bit lost in translation- not that it matters. All that matters is the music, and again, Porter effortlessly blends classic rock structures with an alternative vibe, though this time out, leaning more toward the former than the latter. But who cares? Agin, all that matters is that it is another modern and wonderfully fresh slice of music for those who like their rock music both melodic and full of muscle.
