Brooklyn indie rock band Short Porch recently released their debut album Hot & Ready. The record captures the frantic energy of the city, frontman Sean McNulty’s vocals on the edge. The album is the band looking to “sound as close as possible to our live show,” they share. Moreso, you can taste the essence of NYC–the grit and buzz, even its pizza! With songs about the subway, navigating a crowded bar and more, it’s a realistic portrait of the city Short Porch calls home.
“We really feel our city very much in this album,” McNulty says. In this episode of OBJECTS, he shows off an item that influenced the band while making the record. Watch the episode now.
