   About Portico
"First Neighbours is a stunner from the first note…Portico have made the first perfect album of 2009."
- FFWD Magazine

"Utterly individual. Many cds cross this reviewer’s path, few are as immediate or life affirming. This is their time."
- 9 out of 10, Americana UK review of First Neighbours

"This release is a rock solid recording of a band that just has it. The songs are big and modest at the same time, and the vocals and lyrics are engaging and mysterious. This album has everything I love about top shelf independent music."
- Zunior.com

"Some music seems to come from nowhere and everywhere at the same time, rooted no place in particular but stretching its tendrils in all directions. Such is the case with Vancouver’s Portico."
- The Georgia Straight

NxEW.ca is a new Canadian music group blog. We have 60 + writers across Canada (and a few in the U.S.). We welcome anyone who wants to write about Canadian music - including musicians, promoters, managers, etc. (We're not the CBC and we exist to promote Canadian music, so conflict of interest is not an issue).
If you'd like to chip in on the blog or want to submit stuff for consideration for the podcast get in touch at northbyeastwest at gmail.com

Cheers!

Wonderful show yesterday. It was a pleasure playing with you. We listened to your CD all the way to Lethbridge. Love the intertwining melodies on the bass and guitar, and the drums serve the songs so perfectly. Anyways. Look us up when your in Manitoba.
