Porridge Radio have released Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky today on New Music Friday – revisit Live4ever’s review and stream the album below.
“There’s something quintessentially British (or specifically, English) about repressing one’s feelings.”
“We don’t like to make a fuss or, even worse, show weakness or indeed emotion. We must be stoic. We must keep our feelings in check and keep our own counsel. Obviously, it is and always has been incredibly unhealthy, but fortunately those perceptions are changing through the generations, even if the pace is glacial.”
“Of course the big losers are those who opt not to engage with their emotions, not least because they are denying themselves the cathartic release. Not so for Porridge Radio and specifically songwriter/singer Dana Margolin, who has a unique ability to harness the emotion and invigorate herself.”
