Intense quartet launches self-titled debut on Feb. 16
Anyone who’s seen Porcelain live knows: Their music washes over you. Once singer-guitarist Steve Pike gets his introductory merch-table-guiding spiel out of the way, there’s no room for artist-audience banter. The band rips straight into a set of gnarly but melodic post-hardcore, complete with transitions and noisy soundscapes.proves equally spellbinding. Transitions intact, its eight tracks flow into each other, presenting not just a collection of songs, but a curated body of work.
“We really hit the ground running,” Emmert says. After their first show in May 2022, the group showcased at South by Southwest the next spring, followed by debut single “C.O.A.” Their first LP arrives via Portrayal of Guilt Records, placing Porcelain alongside industrial rockers Nuclear Daisies on the metal heavy hitters’ limited – nay, selective – label roster. Based on a claustrophobic Portrayal of Guilt Records showcase last month at Chess Club, the partnership comes with a built-in audience.
“We’re talking about some really real shit. We can all have some sort of catharsis about it together, but we’re also gonna try to have some fun and try to take the piss out of it a little bit.”Penultimate track “Invoices” checks another group favorite. Inspired by the “mind-numbing warehouse jobs” that Pike, a live sound engineer, took when concert venues shuttered during the pandemic, the song trudges along to mirror the “punch in, punch out” mentality of working-class life.
