  • Portugal. The Man made a triumphant return to music this year with their new single “Feel It Still.” It’s the first fans have heard from the Alaska-bred rock band since 2013’s Evil Friends. “Feel It Still” is the first single off of the group’s forthcoming album, 'Woodstock,' and according to bassist Zachary Carothers, the band was just hanging out in the studio, playing around with bass lines and bridges before realizing they had a song on their hands.

    I heard this on the radio two days ago and I'm hooked now. I don't understand how I hadn't heard of them before.
