Every Bad (studio album)
by Porridge Radio

I actually think this album is a bit underscored here. This almost sounds like a less interesting Pixies met the Strokes and made a more laid back album. This band needs some serious refinement in the coming years, and some assistance with the lyric-writing part of it, but musically they are really on to something interesting!

Great songwriting, great melodies. I love her voice and the whole album is a nice trip to follow along.

A record that grows, that has some really wonderful lyricism, and whose songwriting and production is truly robust in the best possible ways--although, it does feel a little too long. Not quite blown away by it, but I can imagine really coming to love it.

Keep listening. It gets better every time. A vocal performance for the ages.

Was excited to listen to this album after Pitchfork's rave review, but I ended up finding the album extremely underwhelming. The lyrical and musical repetition doesn't do it for me, and it's not very melodic and easy to listen to. (Something) was the only standout to me on the album. The guitar work and arrangements are intriguing, but not enough to make the album worth listening to.

This is laid-back, sometimes angry, but extremely harmonic indie rock. Dana Margolin sings emotionally, but also in a really cool slacker style. I'm impressed.

For the most part, this is not good. Repetitious chord structures. Atonal vocals. Then, in places, it really shines. Nephews, Lilac and (Something) stand out a mile from the rest.

Porridge Radio have the sort of name that’ll make you wince, a bit like David Bowie’s teeth or Slaves From Venus or The Lover Speaks, that kind of bad.
But the music’s good, a bit like C86-types The Popguns, but if they were more interested in making quilts. So they’ve got that homespun, feminist thing down pat. Very promising.
