The new Port Sulphur digital single features the likes of James Kirk (Orange Juice) and Davy Henderson (The Fire Engines/Win).

Mesa is catchy alt-rock whilst Trails is slower paced which shows off the band’s excellent songwriting. Homepage Facebook Girlfrendo – Demo There is no rush in writing about this one as the songs are over twenty years old. It has been released … Continue reading Something For The Weekend?
