Whatever happened to good old fashion sing along garage rock tunes? The kind you can rally your friends with, chant the lyrics, jump up and down and exert as much positive energy as possible. The answer to this lies in Brooklyn's Portuguese Bend. The band play that feel good rock and roll that is perfect to beat these winter blues and hope for a summertime backyard barbecue. Pulling from their influences like Dinosaur Jr., The Replacements, Superchunk and Guided By Voices, this is a band that will keep you coming back for more. Last month they released their debut EP, Casual Matty and are hoping to release a full length later this year.
