Daily Music Dose: Porcelain and the Tramps

Having been introduced to this band on Buzznet earlier December last year. Immediately I was drawn in, my very first industrial genre band. Not only the addictive voice of Alaina Beaton a.k.a. Porcelain, but the powerful and thought influencing lyrics. I marvel at the meaning depth of her lyrics - so simple and to the point, yet so powerful, and clawing with zeal.

Spending time on the internet, searching for more information and looking for albums, I discovered that Alaina is as unique as her voice. Porcelain and the Tramps can be found on the likes of YouTube, videos made by dedicated fans. Dubbed as an "Internet Superstar", not only for her songs but for style too - many pictures portray her with wild hair colours, and her set style, along with a captured wildness at heart. And I believe this is suggested in her music.

For the first part of this year, news of the band's movements have been somewhat quiet, in fact, still to release an album. Much news is reliant on dedicated fans, and found news that Alaina co-wrote the lyrics to Ashley Tisdale's "How Do You Love Someone?" which was released on her album June this year. Ideally, and hopefully I will get to hear a version sung by Porcelain and the Tramps. And according to an online fan site, having been signed by Virgin, August saw the band "being back on track" to release an album. So we shall excitedly sit on our hands for confirmation.

I love ALL her songs - those I have heard - and it is difficult to say which ones are my favourite, as the songs seem to alternate. So I will go with the majority of our community:

My Leftovers
Redlight District
King of the World

I like King of the world. Also Transparent is a very interesting song. She does not only sing along a song, she plays with her voice. It makes her really interesting.:)
Great journal!

This made me want to listen to "Kittie" for some reason. Good find! Her voice sounds very "pop-ish."
