PORCELAIN

Loud guitars and a snarl in the vocals: PORCELAIN play rock with a 90s edge and a modern punk bite. The band came up through the small, grimy bars of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and that's the kind of room their sound was made for. Tahlia fronts it, singing lead and playing rhythm guitar. Ethan handles lead guitar and backing vocals, Ellen plays bass and Max is on drums. If your party crowd owns a pair of Vans and still knows the words to the old grunge-era anthems, this is their band. Expect volume rather than background music.
