2. Portman grew out of the ashes of pop punk band Dutch*Oven from Stamford, UK in February '04. In the two years since then playing gigs here and there up and down the county has developed the band, and with this the bands sound has grown and matured into a sort of piano driven melodic pop rock. With souring harmonies, and sprinkling tinkling guitars. Often compared to the likes of Copeland and Something Corporate.
The band have started on the road to establishing themselves with the release of their debut 7 track EP ‘This is me breathing’ receiving good reviews so far. The EP was recorded with the utmost care and affection by Ben Toulson and entirely produced by Portman. It effectively celebrates the bands progression in the last two years as well as giving them a clear reference to come back to. Portman are booked into ‘ATOMIC STUDIOS’ in London to record again this Easter with Ville Leppanen (animal farm production company).
