Porcelain is a Newcastle-based alternative rock band known for their emotionally charged, atmospheric sound. Formed by Curtis Longstaff (vocals/guitar), Dan Wright (guitar), Adam Tibke (drums), and Kane Taylor (bass), the band crafts music that blends intricate guitar work, dynamic rhythms, and deeply emotive lyrics.
Since their formation, Porcelain has earned attention for their powerful live performances and genre-spanning influences. Their sound channels the grit of alternative rock while incorporating the complexity of progressive and art rock. Drawing inspiration from sounds both old and new, from the energy of early Muse and Radiohead to modern contemporaries like Junodream or Wunderhorse, Porcelain offers a unique take on rock that is both familiar and fresh – balancing expansive soundscapes with personal storytelling and introspective lyricism.
The band’s previous singles, including “Hearsay” and “Escape Routes,” have garnered critical acclaim, receiving airplay on BBC Radio 6 and BBC Introducing and support from Radio X, This Feeling, and Generator. Known for their captivating live shows, selling out local headline gigs and recently supporting The Bracknall and Youth Sector, Porcelain are rapidly building a reputation as one to watch in the UK alternative rock scene.
