Just as the name suggests, Australia’s Portal Gun traverses musical dimensions as if something out of science fiction. Blending groove-based rhythms and profound themes of life, purpose and society, the 4-piece creates a unique soundscape through every release, leaving you with both question and answer; always satisfied but always wanting more.
Between Edward Jacobs (Vocals/Guitar), Tim Bayne (Backing Vocals/Drums), Jordan Lahy (Keys/Synth), and Matt Rowan (Bass), Portal Gun’s creativity sets them apart in the contemporary music scene. Notably, their ability to fuse funk and psych rock elements - Edward Jacobs's soulful vocals soaring over Tim Bayne's dynamic drumming, while Jordan Lahy's keys and synth textures add to the depth and atmosphere. Matt Rowan's pulsating bass lines anchoring the band's sound, providing a solid foundation for their sonic explorations.
Marking a significant level of development, Portal Gun released their debut album 'Synthetic Society' in 2023, highlighting their musicality and distinctive sound throughout the 8-track offering. 2024 will see the band continue their growth, with plans for multiple albums that will cross genre (time and space) and an engaging live show in the years to come.
