You drop your ring as you remove it from your finger. It falls a foot or two into the porcelain sink below. There is an expansive and clear "ping" - a happy accident of almost music. You are compelled to repeat the gesture - on purpose this time - just to hear the sound again. From a tiny ping a melody grows into a song.

Clear and expansive music is what the band, Porcelain, cultivates through unconventional explorations of sound. Inspired by, but certainly distinct from a brit pop history, Porcelain have evolved from a basement electronic duo to a tight, five member outfit.

In 2007 Toronto new rock station, 102.1 The Edge, featured Porcelain during the station's new music night after the release of their 6-song, self-titled EP. This exposure to a wider audience fueled the band's passion for sound performance. After the great reception they received for their EP, Porcelain got hard at work on new songs.

Song writing isn't linear. And sound and lyric inspiration can come from any place. Every member of Porcelain: James Bisch (drums), Adam Krulicki (vocals), Chad Krulicki (keyboards), Jim Mathers (lead guitar), and Matt Trethewey (bass), have contributed to the writing and refining of their growing list of songs. There is a cohesion of ideas among them: their music is more than the sum of its parts.

In October 2008, Porcelain had written 40 songs, and were ready to hone, refine and purge to create an 11-song concept disc, Everyone, Everywhere. They have always had such a vibrant, easy stage presence. The goal now was to make a disc that took all the best from their live performances, and encapsulate that on the album.

But in true artistic fashion, they made the refining process a unique one. With the addition of the band's newest member, bassist Trethewey, a graduate of The Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (co-founded by Paul McCartney), suddenly Porcelain were experimenting with unconventional sound recording techniques to enhance their already expansive sound. By recording in cellars, factory's, and custom built isolation booths Porcelain recorded an album which, when listened to, sounds like they're right there in the room; playing solely for the listener.

This unconventional approach was necessary when you consider that the album's themes are dark and apocalyptic. All is not forsaken however, as the album's character explores issues of leadership, self-awareness, disconnection and community.

Clarifying feeling through sound, ideas through lyrics, Porcelain commit to go large with their songs. As they continue to perform and record their immense sound, they will use their explorations down the dark hallways of melody to inspire more and more great music.
