Porter Hall were a band from Calgary, Canada, active from 1997 to about 2004, though apparently they briefly reformed somewhere around 2009. I'm basing the 2004 breakup date on the release of their second and last album on German label Dead Serious, which must have been the European physical release because the album itself was released in 2001; no one has added a Canadian variant to Discogs, but I'm presuming one exists. I'm betting that band survived to see that release, but they may not have.
Porter Hall played emo pop punk in the 90s tradition, showing no sign of the early 2000s mall emo trends. Their sound is identical between their demo and their first record, to the point some of the songs use the same takes on the album. Their second album, Everything I Know I Stolen, is a little more aggressive than than the first, featuring a bit of emocore edge and rougher vocals.
Unless one of their compilation tracks features a different version than the albums, this download comprises the band's current known discography.
