Hailing from South London’s Tooting neighborhood, Dignan Porch began as the lo-fi bedroom pop musings of Joe Walsh (not the guy from The Eagles) and soon became a full-fledged band. Loaded with psychedelic hooks, melancholia and skewed takes on everyday life, their music is both effortlessly melodic and oddly haunting.
“Riffs so perfect they feel timeless” – FADER.
Walsh’s 8-track recordings caught the attention of revered New York label Captured Tracks (Mac Demarco, DIIV, Wild Nothing), with whom the band have released two albums an EP and a single.
Later, Dignan Porch released an album with Brighton based label Faux Discx (Sauna Youth, Cold Pumas) and have put out self-released material on limited edition cassettes.
“Songs that seem to teeter on the brink of collapse yet are utterly beguiling” – Q Magazine.
With a strong DIY spirit running through all their activity, the band have garnered a loyal cult following.
“Dignan Porch just make it sound effortless. Well, it is effortless for them. It’s real. It’s a pure crystallised idea, boiled down to something very simple. Joseph Walsh and the gang manage to capture a truly thrilling ride without letting up on the honesty.” — The Line of Best Fit
