Porridge Radio

[laughs] Yeah, I heard this, um, several weeks ago, and I put the thingy innit, it was in me Discover Weekly.

It's, uh, Sweet by Porridge Radio.

My mum says that I look like a nervous wreck because I bite my nails right down to the flesh.

And sometimes I'm just a child writing letters to myself, wishing out loud you were dead and then taking it back.

What was that there? I don't even know who played that, you know.

Uh, that was me.

That was Sweet by Porridge Radio.

Oh, aye.

Secretly Canadian released this next one as a standalone single in 2020.

Here's Porridge Radio with 7 Seconds.

I've been waiting such a long time for you And you know that I could tell you that I'm wasted and I can't tell you that I'm wasted on you and I think about your body how it's wasting how it's wasting and I'm wasted telling jokes And

Porridge Radio ended last year, and Dana now released their first solo single, Big Beautiful Sound.

It felt like after Porridge Radio, I shed this huge...

of us, it's, like, a distinct person.

Like, you obviously in Porridge Radio.

Yeah.

Oh, my dad's wearing a Porridge Radio shirt today.

He always busts out when he wants to impress people.

He wears his Porridge Radio shirt.

Yeah, they're fab.

And they were the first band to take us on tour.

Exactly.

And speaking of emotions, her previous work with Porridge Radio often tackled tough subjects.

Is she continuing that trend?

It seems like it, but what about the balance? Can she evolve while still being true to her roots?

Okay, so Dana Margolin just released their first solo single after Porridge Radio broke up, and it's called Big Beautiful Sound.

It's an acoustic ballad.

Wait, Porridge Radio broke up.

I missed that.

What happened? They had such a unique sound.

Yeah, like how some solo artists lean into pop or experiment with different genres.

It could go anywhere.

Right, but I hope they maintain that raw emotional core that made Porridge Radio so relatable.
