Portugal. The Man.
This isn’t a huge widely known band, by any means. But if you live in the northwest area, or Ireland then chances are they have played near your town… a few times.

Portugal. The Man is a mix of The Fall of Troy and Gatsby’s American Dream as far as I am concerned. The style of lyrics are very majestic as well as meaningful. Most songs are about destruction, or ’speaking out’ per say.
I went to see Portugal. The Man live on Saturday night, at the El Corazon in Seattle, WA. They played with Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground, Photo Atlas, and The Johnbenders. It was a pretty neat show, and Portugal. The Man brought their own lights for the stage!
Portugal. The Man - AKA M80 The Wolf, Music Video.
Currently they have a new album ‘Church Mouth’ which has more of a mature sound to it. I prefer the classic Portugal. The Man, but the new stuff is great as well.
They are about to start a tour around Europe, so if you live there, be sure to catch them haha!
If not, and you live in the U.S like most of my readers, then stay posted here and I will be sure to announce the new tour when its updated!
