Venue
Shirt, the new album from Aaron Maine aka Porches, is part angsty fantasy, part confessional melodrama - a rock album that oscillates between reality and make-believe to reflect both the innocence of suburban youth and the frayed reality of adulthood. A fusion of chaotic impulses, insatiable desires, and a perpetual yearning, Shirt plays with the tension between one's person and persona - the weight of your dreams crashing up against your reality. The result is something both familiar and uncanny, an anthemic tribute to this intrinsic duality built on crashing and caressing sounds.
A concise record that thrusts listeners into a fevered state, Shirt's hormonal rock songs collide with emotional ballads to create a dynamic tension that propels the listener ahead. The album speaks in broad, relatable terms while maintaining an intimate connection with its creator, blurring the line between universality and personal revelation. Shirt is as much about the climaxes as it is about the banality between life's most memorable moments, celebrating not just the first kiss but also the anxiety intertwined with it.
Shirt is instantly recognizable as Porches' heaviest album to date. Grungy guitars that shine with a menacing glint, drums and bass that punch you warmly in the stomach, interspersed with moments of eerie calmness to create a physical sense of tension and release that resonates with each track.
Intimate concert which was refreshing! No complaints about the venue beyond it being cold which made it unpleasant while waiting for the act. Biggest complaint is that the concert started 1 HOUR LATE which was unexpected and frankly annoying that we got there at the expected start time for no reason. Otherwise, bands were great which was expected.
I was hoping to see Porches with a full band. The back tracks were not loud enough, this venue (The Echo) needs to stop being cheap, or should we say Ticketmaster/Live Nation need to invest in a better sound system. After all, it's why the venue is there.
Venue was small and perfect for the show. Loved it
it was pretty good i like porches because they play the songs that i like
This show will, by far, be one of my most favorite and cherished shows of all time. Words just cannot describe how amazing this concert truly was. I would recommend everyone to go see Porches live because you will fall in love with them immediately.
