Porridge Radio, which started in Brighton, England, in 2015, is fronted by Dana Margolin. The band's music is a mix of indie rock and intensely personal lyricism. Margolin started writing songs as a teenager, influenced by musicians like Patti Smith and Angel Olsen. Her compositions are emotionally powerful and blend sensitivity with indie grit. The band's early EPs, Hello Dog (2016) and Rice, Pasta, and Other Fillers (2016), got a lot of attention for their raw, honest sound, which helped them gain a loyal audience in the UK underground music scene.
The 2018 album Every Bad by Porridge Radio was their big break, getting good reviews from NME and The Guardian. They played at SXSW, the End of the Road Festival, and toured Europe, where they shared the stage with Soccer Mommy and Snail Mail. Songs like "Sweet" and "Born Confused" show off Margolin's powerful voice and poetic lyrics, which have earned the band praise from critics and a loyal following in the indie music scene.
Porridge Radio is still touring a lot right now, doing intimate, emotionally charged shows. Their 2022 album Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky shows off their deep lyrics and willingness to try new sounds.
