10 Hard Rock Bands You Should Be Listening To Right Now
7. Porridge Radio
Porridge Radio originated from a bedroom project by vocalist and lead guitarist Dana Margolin, Porridge Radio have since developed into the post-punk 4-piece tying together Margolin’s emotional lyricism with beautiful pop melodies. As the band's sound and catalogue have expanded the group have received praise from tastemakers such as Stereogum, Paste, BBC Radio 1 as well as the Guardian who listed them among their 40 new artists of 2018.
Following a string of demo releases, highly esteemed live performances and full-length LP Rice, Pasta And Other Fillers the group have released their Secretly Canadian debut, Every Bad. The band have evolved their sound from their humble LoFi beginnings recording in their drummer’s garden shed to a more mature, glossy yet still raw sound.
The new record has certainly championed the group as a high prospect for new UK music and this record has certainly cemented these hopes. Dana Margolin recently declared Porridge Radio to be "the best band in the world". With bold statements like these, and consistent material the group may have what it takes to ground themselves as an established act for the future of rock music.
