Check out Porridge Radio’s new single, ‘The Rip’

"We wanted it to sound like massive pop, like Charli XCX, but with the instrumentation of bands like Slothrust or Deftones."

Porridge Radio have shared a new single, ‘The Rip’. It’s taken from their forthcoming third studio album ‘Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky’, set for release on 20th May on Secretly Canadian.

Following lead single ‘Back To The Radio’, frontperson Dana Margolin explains
“‘The Rip’ was the last song to be finished for the album, and we finished it about a week before we went into the studio to record it in March 2021. We wanted it to sound like massive pop, like Charli XCX, but with the instrumentation of bands like Slothrust or Deftones. It took the longest a song has ever taken me to write lyrics for, and they took form over a few years. At the beginning it was a song about a power dynamic where I was in control, by the end it was about one where I had none.

“My friends always accuse me of making up idioms and using them like they are well known phrases and I think this song is full of those. I love the idea of something being sick at the seams, like it’s disintegrating from its core. I like things that are so simple they are universal. I wanted it to sound like when your heart breaks so badly that your entire body aches. I wanted it to feel like your soul is dropping out of your body.”
