The Porcupines are a German rock ‘n’ roll band featuring songwriter Onno Calzone on vocals and guitars, Michael Nisi on bass and vocals, and a singing drummer formerly known as Heavy Willie but has dropped the adjective. About 30 years ago they released the Tie Me Loose 7″ and performed here and there, and after a long period of silence they apparently got the itch again. With fresh full-length album “Higher Emotions” they present twelve energetic tunes, partly instrumental, with varying degrees of groovy surf rock and trashy pop-punk. Everything radiates infectious fun and enthusiasm, a tasty sauce on top of the original melodies and hooks.
“Higher Emotions” is out now digitally (self-released). Add to wantlist: Bandcamp
