Porij

Porij are one of the UK’s most exciting genre-blurring bands, emerging from Manchester with a sound that effortlessly fuses electronic music, indie-pop, house, garage and live-band energy. Formed at the Royal Northern College of Music, the four-piece have built a reputation for creating euphoric, emotionally charged records that feel as at home in the club as they do on festival main stages.

‍

Known for their infectious grooves, dynamic musicianship and bold songwriting, Porij blend pulsing dancefloor rhythms with deeply human themes around identity, connection, growth and self-discovery. Their music moves fluidly between shimmering alt-pop hooks, rave-informed production and raw, heartfelt lyricism, giving them a sound that feels both immediate and forward-thinking.

The band’s rise has been marked by standout live performances, including high-profile support slots for Coldplay at their Manchester stadium shows, where they introduced their expansive sound to massive audiences. Their debut album Teething further cemented their reputation as one of the most compelling new acts in UK alternative music, showcasing a band unafraid to push boundaries while remaining accessible and emotionally resonant.

With a rare ability to bridge underground club culture and indie songwriting, Porij continue to carve out a unique lane in the UK music landscape — a band equally suited to late-night dancefloors, radio playlists and festival stages, with a sound built for both movement and feeling.
