Newcastle-based alternative rock band PØRTERS return with their powerful new single “Timewaster.” The release arrives at a pivotal moment for the band. Just days after the single drops, PØRTERS will perform at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music on 18 March as part of a showcase event hosted by the BBC, marking a significant milestone in their trajectory. The performance places them among a select group of emerging artists spotlighted for their impact and potential.
PØRTERS are on the fast track to take over the contemporary indie rock scene, and “Timewaster” looks to keep the fire burning as bright as possible. The hypnotic, infectious new single features a subtle waltz that gives the thudding percussion and heavenly vocals a jazzy swing, but don’t look away too quickly; this band thrives in unpredictability. What starts as a swaying ballad quickly transitions into distorted indie rock bliss, highlighting the band’s range without forcing their unique prowess into the new single. “Timewaster” aims at exactly that: the type of people who place themselves on a pedestal and think that everything they think needs to be heard. PØRTERS take their annoyance and spin it into a danceable anthem and a proper introduction to this band’s individuality. “Timewaster” is the type of song that feels like it’s always existed, an intrinsic performance from a shining star in indie rock.
