Short Bio:

Blending straight-forward, fuzz pedal-infused rock n roll with densley textured, cinematic compositions, Port City Music is a Savannah, GA based quintet that is out to prove that the legacy of Southern Rock is more complex than a beer-drunk crowd chanting "Free Bird." Drawing from a diverse list of influences spanning decades and continents, including Nick Cave, Morphine, Sonic Youth, Joy Division, Syd Barrett, Dinosaur Jr., and Jeff Buckley, Port City Music's sound walks the line between dark and light, joy and pain, pop and noise, to create what lead singer/songwriter Philip Palmer describes as "melodic dissonance."


Review By Murmur Magazine:

"...The music itself is dark and moody, falling somewhere between Love and Rockets and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, with some creative flares reminiscent of Talking Heads. The eponymous, self-produced CD is truly an under-recognized local work worthy of praise it hasn't yet received... one of the best albums as a whole to be made in Savannah in the last few years."


Influences:

Steve Kilbey, Syd Barrett, Joe Jackson, Blondie, Lightning Hopkins, Morphine, The Doors, Hal Hartley's film scores, Marty Willson-Piper, James Brown, PJ Harvey, The Church, The Reds, Leonard Cohen, Television, Jeff Buckley, Pylon, Hank Williams, Alice Cooper, early Elton John, Mars Volta, Cheap Trick, Low, Guided by Voices, Sonic Youth, The Byrds, The Beatles, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Pixies, The Glands and the beat goes on and on and on.........

PS- would you like a BAND WEBSITE? Amy designs band websites from simple $100 EPK sites to higher budget, intense & creative FLASH sites. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
