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.

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

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 PORTER’S SINGLE OUT NOW
February 18, 2024

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.

PORTER DROPS NEW TRACK „SALLY“
February 22, 2024

Continuing the record’s concept of painting a parallel world to our own, with this single the band sets their targets on the various kinds of violence and abuse that so many women and girls suffer through. 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.

The saga in the ficticious universe of “Genosha” continues as Porter returns with a new single
February 27, 2024

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.

Mentioned in Dispatches: Behind the Banlieue – Porter
February 6, 2024

I recently wrote about Porter’s excellent mix of rock sounds on Tax Free Hollows, and here they are again with another song title that I don’t really understand the meaning of, perhaps something to do with an urban uprising? 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.
