█▓ "On the opening track of their debut album When The ▓█
█▓ Rain Comes, Oaklanders Port O'Brien struck us as ▓█
█▓ being quite vocally reminiscent of the frailty of ▓█
█▓ This Heat (particularly their vocals in 'Fall Of ▓█
█▓ Saigon' from their self-titled album). From there ▓█
█▓ though mainman Van Pierzalowski keeps things much ▓█
█▓ more in a straightforward rough-hewn folkiness mode ▓█
█▓ that in turn brings to mind early Bright Eyes. Some ▓█
█▓ rousing whistlin' and hollerin' embellish the tune ▓█
█▓ "Split" which is followed by the ultra hushed ▓█
█▓ delicate number 'Dance With Our Ashes'. Nice." ▓█
█▓ -- Aquarius Records, SF ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ Port O'Brien began performing regularly since early ▓█
█▓ in the year of 2005. They have played with likes of ▓█
█▓ AKRON/FAMILY, LITTLE WINGS, THANKSGIVING, VIKING ▓█
█▓ MOSES, and many many others. There will also be a ▓█
█▓ tour (endless touring?) in December/January 2006/07. ▓█
█▓ On record, Van writes, records, and performs every- ▓█
█▓ thing. In the live setting, the group features ▓█
█▓ guitars, banjos, violins, clarinets, bongos, lots of ▓█
█▓ stomping, and mass sing a longs. Port O'Brien has two ▓█
█▓ official releases, "When the Rain Comes" (the debut ▓█
█▓ LP, now in its 2nd pressing) and "Nowhere to Run" ▓█
█▓ (the follow-up EP featuring Cambria Goodwin as co- ▓█
█▓ writer and co-performer). -- from PortOBrien.com ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ After seeing this band live, you might be a bit put ▓█
█▓ off by their album and EP. They shout and stomp, ▓█
█▓ scream and sway about, really getting into things. On ▓█
█▓ their recordings, they are lo-fi indie rock with heavy ▓█
█▓ folk overtones / influences. You can't complain, since ▓█
█▓ you have a recording of Port O'Brien in hand / in ear, ▓█
█▓ but you wish there was some more uumpf in it. At least ▓█
█▓ I do. If you dig it, support it! Buy real music! AES! ▓█
