Porcelain, Bursting, Skimp, Guiding Light [inside]

From its initial harmonic plucks to Steve Pike and Ryan Fitzgibbon’s dual vocals, aptly titled new single “Harmony” previews a new era for Porcelain. The homegrown post-hardcore outfit’s first release since their great 2024 debut album doubles as a look at LP2 and an idea of what local photographer/booker Pooneh Ghana has in store for her new label TODO Records, to which Porcelain was an early signee. The rising quartet showcases all things post-punk, post-hardcore, and otherwise post-genre with a stacked bill featuring fellow ATX act Guiding Light, Denton emos Skimp, and Chicago rockers Bursting. – Carys Anderson
