I'm very excited for the year ahead. 2. When will the album be out and what will it be called? My new album is out now, it's called Heaven. [...]

The new track from Gorgeous Bully has slight a hint of Johnny Cash to it. That is, a slight hint of Johnny Cash behind tonnes of guitar and vocal distortion - something that the Plymouth musician has been making ace songs under for a good while now. With an EP out soon on Art Is Hard Records , and a seemingly effortless knack of writing pop songs buried below layers of noise, I'm looking forward to hearing more. That kind of girl by gorgeous bully [...]

Good old Muse have donated £15,000 worth of equipment and money to Plymouth University to encourage students on music courses.

mp3 - Conrad Plymouth - I Am Not Waiting Anymore mp3 - Conrad Plymouth - I Am Not Waiting Anymore (live on WUWM radio) WUWM public radio posted a live recording of Milwaukee's Conrad Plymouth gripping "I Am Not Waiting Anymore" today. I had the chance to catch the band play a set infront of a packed house this Saturday at the Irish Pub, as a part of the Yellow Phone Music Conference. After seeing countless singer-songwriter/folk-esque acts over the past couple of years, it's easy to see [...]
Tweet Conrad Plymouth just put out an EP, "Comrade Plymouth," made up of B-sides from the upcoming full-length full-band album which is yet to have a title. With the promise of a more rounded sound in the works I'm enjoying this all the more. I find Christopher Porterfield to be one of the stronger solo performers around and would be just as satisfied if this were the finished product. "I Am Not Waiting Anymore," the opening track off of the EP, [...]

*photo by Chris Robleski New release over on Conrad Plymouth's Bandcamp page provides some solo Christopher Porterfield tracks. Almost a stop-gap EP on the road to the upcoming full length album from the full band. The 7 songs are new, old and even finish out with a Mickey Newbury cover! The album also has one of best album covers this year (art by CJ Foeckler) and is appropriately titled "Comrade Plymouth" - well played. Hearing these tracks makes me feel the Will Oldham vibe more and more (albeit [...]

From what I gather, Conrad Plymouth has released some jams that he deemed not stellar enough for his forthcoming release. Colored in shades of Springsteen and Petty (Tom, not The King Richard, of course) on songs like 'Decision Day' and pre-Bon Iver Justin Vernon on 'Incommunicado' yet thankfully still retaining Plymouth's own unique sound, if these are the outtakes, the B-sides if you will, well. Save my place in line for the day this album makes it's appearance... ** Conrad Plymouth :: I Am Not Waiting Anymore [mp3] [...]

Christoper Porterfield is one of my best friends. I've watched Chris and his band Conrad Plymouth perform countless times over the past two plus years. Each time powerful and unique. Friendship aside, he's one of my absolute favorite songwriters. I started a label because I believe so strongly in his songwriting and wanted to do anything to make sure his music was heard. Tonight he users in the release of of Comrade Plymouth - a free, and "mostly first take solo clearinghouse for old and new songs." [...]

Singer-songwriter Chris Porterfield answers questions about the formation and naming of his band, Conrad Plymouth, former projects, an album that got thrown out, and new plans for one to be released this summer. Also, drinking at the Joynt and playing shows on boats.
Chris Porterfield, formerly the man behind DeYarmond Edison's pedal steel, now creates lush, inspirational folk under the moniker Conrad Plymouth. His organic blend of finger-picked guitars, marching cadences, bright piano lines and country-tinged vocals open into glorious moments of great pageantry.
