Porridge Radio knows that there is power in repetition. The songs on ‘Every Bad’ embrace the quiet-loud-quiet formula that skyrocketed grunge into popularity in the 90’s. It is both unsettling and invigorating the speed that Porridge Radio can go from a soft spoken lullaby to a full-on freakout but usually they take their time to slowly build to unimaginable crescendos bursting with nervous energy. This is often combined with a lyrical repetition that has the the effect of a Buddhist chant devolving into an existential crisis or an angsty incantation.
