There are at least 5 artists with name Portland. 1) Portland are a three piece lounge band based in the Birmingham, UK; Rory Thompson - Lead vocals & guitar, Sarah Thompson - Backing vocals and Paul Meadows - Bass. Portlands’ music combines acoustic style songwriting with warm strings & soulful melodies. 2) Portland (aka Spencer Lytle) is obsessed with his computer and the sounds that it makes. He uses these sounds to write music that expresses his emotions in ways words never could. Love, sadness, anger and everything in between can be heard swimming through his songs meshed intricately with crackles, scrapes, clicks and washes. Portland finally decided to let the world listen in on his conversations with his CPU and sent some of it to us here at n5MD. 3) An electronic band from San Diego, California, USA. http://www.myspace.com/portland 4)Portland is the new name for the band formerly known as Birds Escape. 5) A Norwegian band made up of 8 youths, Camilla Gulliksen on vocals, Thea Johanna Hettasch on the clarinet and Ingrid Maria Beltramba on sax and vocals.
