Porridge Radio – “Back To The Radio”

Porridge Radio – “Back To The Radio”

The UK’s Porridge Radio have announced a follow-up album to 2020’s Every Bad. Titled Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky, the new LP arrives later this spring. To celebrate, the band is releasing a video for the lead single, “Back To The Radio.”

Of “Back To The Radio,” Porridge Radio’s Dana Margolin explains:

“Back To The Radio” feels like a huge introductory hello or a big ceremonial goodbye. I wrote it at the end of 2019 when we were gearing up for the release of Every Bad and I felt like a lot of things were coming that I wasn’t sure I knew how to handle. The song grew out of a feeling of intense loneliness and being unprepared for what everybody was promising me was about to happen – and a strong desire to escape without knowing what I wanted to escape to. To me there’s a huge feeling of catharsis in this song, of letting go and letting it sweep you away.
