The Porters - The great irish punk pissup

THE PORTERS are firmly rooted in the heart of Germany's Ruhrgebiet and Rhineland, united by their deep love for traditional Irish music. An obvious contrast which creates versatility that is shown in the band’s sound. Happy and playful Irish Folk melodies give way to the full amount of pure rock n’ roll energy, tin whistle and accordion provide the background for ballads full of aspiration, banjo and mandoline change to powerful wheeping guitars.
Forget about the cliché of typical Irish folk punks from Germany. THE PORTERS raise their glasses high to celebrate and sing about their native homeland. Their debut album “A Tribute To Arthur Guinness” and numerous live shows with bands like the Real Mc Kenzies, Blood or Whiskey and Conflict made them stand in comparison with the scene's top artists. With their second album “Anywhere But Home” THE PORTERS have now created a very own, pleasantly different niche. Enjoy German-Irish Folk Rock with a difference.

Sláinte, Cheers and Prost!
