Portugal. The Man. Touring.

It was Mission Of Burma, who exclaimed in the appropriately titled "Period," that 'Maybe there's a time a place to punctuate!' That definitely what the case seems to be with Alaskan rock and rollers Portugal. The Man.

Now, I'm not gonna lie, for the few years that they have been in existence, I always thought it was Portugal comma The Man not Portugal period The Man. I think the period is cooler come to think of it.

Anyway, this isn't a post about one's perfection with grammar and such. The band have just released their second album Church Mouth on the California based Fearless Records. Not to be a man to utilize the pun so much, but the trio definitely don't show any fear through the dozen songs that make up their second long player.

They come off rather swell to me on record, but I hear one can obtain the whole picture when seeing them live. Fresh off of one round of shows in the US, the band has just announced another slew of dates for the fall which finds them supporting Rocky Votolato.
