Portugal The Man signs to Atlantic Records

Good things really do happen to good people. Portugal the Man have just signed a deal with Atlantic Records. While a lot of people might be skeptical of something like this (myself included), just reading over this message that singer John Gourley posted on the band’s website just reassures all of my confidence in this band, and gets rid of any doubt that I could possibly have. They have done things their own way for a long time, and it’s wonderful that people are finally starting to take notice. Congratulations to the band on their much earned success, and check out these incredible live videos/interview. After seeing this band live numerous times, and watching videos like this, I always end up asking myself why this band isn’t the biggest band in the world.

“You prove to us every day that there is a reason we are doing this. I realize I have used the word “lucky” far too many times in writing this. It is not luck we have found, it is something real and something that I fully believe in and we are doing it together. Thank you again and again for everything you have all done with this band. Let’s continue to believe in this and continue to take our steps one at a time.” -John Gourley
