Emotional, melodic, dynamic, and powerful are words that come to mind when introduced to the band Porcelain. Originally formed in Wollongong (Australia) now bases in Los Angeles (USA), Porcelain has a unique lineup and an original sound. Their sound is based on the dynamic vocals of female front Lo Roberts, the powerful melodic guitars of Ben Richards, the emotional layers of violinist Asha Mevlana and the strength of rhythm section Ewen Penberthy-Groves (Bass) and Blake Paulson (Drums).
Porcelain formed in Wollongong, just outside of Sydney Australia, by songwriting duo Lo and Ben. After fleshing out their outfit to a 5 piece lineup, Porcelain rose to the top of their local scene, winning a MusicOz Award and later gaining a spot on the M-One tour with the Goo Goo Dolls, Simple Plan, Nickelback and Lifehouse. An industry buzz attracted interest from Sony Records and Wizard Records and Porcelain elected to sign with Wizard, an independent label who had a more immediate focus on the U.S market.
The band relocated to Los Angeles and began to build a name by sustaining residencies at multiple venues including the Viper Room. The band developed their live show and local fan-base which attracted interest from Universal Records, Maverick Records and local press...
"Porcelain...a dizzying on-stage array...Porcelain's estimable range...is at once buoyant and mesmerizing..." Kevin Bronson/L.A. TIMES
"Time to add some Porcelain to your collection... Singer Lo Roberts...flaunts a natural stage presence not a million miles removed from that of Gwen Stefani, and easily lures listeners into her complex, occasionally confrontational world. Porcelain isn't like many other bands out there. That's what makes it so valuable," Dean Goodman (Editor)/REUTERS Entertainment Review
Porcelain signed directly to Universal/Motown while remaining with the small Indie label Wizard in their homeland. Porcelain wrote their first record on the shores of the Australian coast, and in the heart of Los Angeles. These sessions included working with Linda Perry (4 Non-Blondes,Pink, Gwen Stefani), Mike Elizondo (50 Cent, Eminem, Fiona Apple) and Holly Knight (Aerosmith, Pat Benatar). Their album was mixed by Serban Ghenea (Dave Matthews, Kelly Clarkson, Staind) and was Produced by Mike Green (Paramore, Plain White T's).
The band is managed by JT Entertainment, and are represented by C.A.A power agent David Zedeck. The involvement of these companies has put Porcelain in the best possible position for their debut release.
Porcelain is a truly original band with great songs and amazing stage presence – reminiscent of the super bands of yesteryear.
Porcelain is a seriously ROCKING band from Australia who made a name for themselves in the LA club scene and was eventually signed to Universal Records. Their debut album titled "Freedom & Release" is scheduled to be released in September and there is no doubt they will explode. They worked with some of the best producers in the biz- Mike Elizondo, Linda Perry and Holly Knight to name a few... Catch them while you can in small venues as they are starting to expand their tour. They are one of the best live shows I've ever seen. The magic of Porcelain is truly seen when they perform. They have quite a stage presence and will definitely deliver a one-two punch to anyone who is feeling a little stale in the music scene. With fun personalities and typical good time loving fans, they love for you to throw back the booze and rock out with your cock out. :) I'm serious folks... they are hot, hot, hot and you should jump on board NOW!!!

Jason Reeves is an amazing singer songwriter! All four of his albums to date have rocked my world. You have to listen to it repeatedly to really absorb the depth of talent that he brings. If my heart could sing and my mind could talk this is what it would say. He really provokes thought and emotion like no other artist.
