LIST PICK
PORRIDGE RADIO SICK OF THE BLUES
Choosing lightness as an act of resistance, 'Sick Of The Blues' is the motivating new single from alt-rock outfit Porridge Radio. Tapping into a relatable process that comes as a result of taking too much shit and making a conscious decision to fight back, dirty guitars chug beneath songwriter Dana Margolin's earnest vocal style as lofi keys add an unhinged sense of glee to the grungey backdrop. Margolin explains: “‘Sick Of The Blues’ is about being heartbroken and taking back some joy, remembering that you’re the source of your own happiness, not someone else, even when you’re hurt and left with a hole in your heart. After being messed around enough, you just want to take back control. I just wanted to let it go, stop letting it consume me. I wanted simplicity, to have fun and remember everything good that could possibly happen. To love wholly, to not take anything too seriously. To have fun with my friends, to remove the tunnel vision and fall in love with my life again.” Opening the campaign for their fourth LP Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me (out October 18th), 'Sick Of The Blues' is a statement of intent from what's sure to be an inspiring new chapter. -Holly Mullineaux
