ABOUT THIS BAND

Porches, the recording project of Aaron Maine, has produced a celebratory collection of songs in their latest record, 2021’s All Day Gentle Hold !. It’s charged up and chaotic, described by Aaron as “the most energetic, off-the-cuff moments, collaged together into the most captivating songs [he] could make.” They take cues from the bands of his youth and those before them—the cadence of The Ramones, the power of Nirvana, and the influence of teenage years spent listening to pop punk and grunge all come to the surface.

2020 saw the release of Ricky Music, a follow up to 2018’s The House. Written and recorded between Maine’s New York apartment and Jacob Portrait’s Greenpoint studio, Ricky Music sees Maine experimenting with new productions techniques, imparting a more amorphous sound, while embracing a collaborative spirit, teaming up with a wide range of creators and friends – Zsela (backing vocals on “Fuck_3”), Dev Hynes (backing vocals on “rangerover” & “Fuck_3”), Peter Maine (backing vocals on “Wrote Some Songs”), among others.

Porches’ music is equally personal and universal, tapping into moments in life that are intimate, absurd, banal and strangely everyday. His output takes a lifetime of songwriting and cuts it down to its most fundamental parts, taking the listener on a dreamy, primal journey through the mind of a man coping with an incomprehensible time, reveling in the joy and confusion of living through it all.
