Porpoise [RIP 2007-2009)

About Me



Porpoise are a Midlands based four piece who formed in January 2007. Since then they have hit the dizzying heights of playing the pub circuit, rarely being paid but enjoying the fuck out of each and every gig....

Original Bassplayer Jon Berhendt left in 2009 and was briefly replaced by Jad Hill who in turn left after suggesting they write songs about sexy gingerbread men. The line up was complete when long time friend Adam Harper joined in Spring 2009.

Porpoise have released so far:

III EP
Zooso EP
Finger Trap (Live EP)
Ursine Major EP
