PORCHES
Shirt, the latest album from Aaron Maine aka Porches, is part angsty fantasy, part confessional melodrama – a rock album that oscillates between reality and make-believe to reflect both the innocence of suburban youth and the frayed reality of adulthood. A fusion of chaotic impulses, insatiable desires, and a perpetual yearning, Shirt plays with the tension between one’s person and persona – the weight of your dreams crashing up against your reality. The result is something both familiar and uncanny, an anthemic tribute to this intrinsic duality built on crashing and caressing sounds.
A concise record that thrusts listeners into a fevered state, Shirt’s hormonal rock songs collide with emotional ballads to create a dynamic tension that propels the listener ahead. The album speaks in broad, relatable terms while maintaining an intimate connection with its creator, blurring the line between universality and personal revelation. Shirt is as much about the climaxes as it is about the banality between life’s most memorable moments, celebrating not just the first kiss but also the anxiety intertwined with it.
It is instantly recognizable as Porches’ heaviest album to date. Grungy guitars that shine with a menacing glint, drums and bass that punch you warmly in the stomach, interspersed with moments of eerie calmness to create a physical sense of tension and release that resonates with each track. The album adds an arresting body of work to Maine’s impressively dynamic catalogue.
MACKEEPER
Mackeeper is the duo made up of Miles Cohen and brother Nick Harwood. For most of their lives, they thought their tastes were too different to take collaboration seriously. Miles started out in rock bands, while Nick was cutting his teeth as a DJ and focused on directing and creative direction for other artists. After spending years individually honing their skills, they came together to combine their different musical influences and perspectives into a unified artist project.The ever-evolving result is a faintly surreal mix of rock with pop hooks, rap-inspired bars, and beats.
Mackeeper explores strikingly honest and relatable themes throughout their debut EPRock Candy. Not surprising given that they recorded most of it on the back porch of their childhood home in Maryland. On their debut single, ‘Oh Canada’, Miles desperately sings, voice cracking, about a friend with a drinking problem, “He’s probably fine, all he had was a little red wine”. Childhood stories reevaluated through the lens of adulthood take on different meanings. In Mackeeper’s words, “Growing up is a choice, but a good one.”
A six year age gap between Miles and Nick meant vastly different experiences of childhood and young adulthood. With Nick in LA and Miles in New York, music keeps them close and listening to their songs allows us to momentarily bask in that bond ourselves.
‘Oh Canada’ was named one of Gorilla vs. Bear’s “Top Songs of 2025”, and Mackeeper was highlighted as an “Artist We’re Rooting For in 2026” by The Fader.
