Porter is a Mexican indie rock band hailing from Guadalajara, Jalisco, known for their eclectic and innovative musical style that often blends elements from rock, electronica, and Mexican folk music. The band was initially formed in 2004 and gained significant attention with their debut album "Atemahawke" in 2007. Despite a brief disbandment in 2008, Porter reunited in 2013 with a refreshed lineup, consisting of Fernando de la Huerta (aka Fher Val), Victor Valverde, Diego Rangel, and Juan Pablo Vázquez (aka Juan Son), who was later replaced by current vocalist David Velasco.

Over their career, Porter has continued to enchant listeners with their lush soundscapes and evocative lyrics. Their music often explores themes of national identity, mythology, and human emotion, all while maintaining a distinct sound that's characterized by experimental leanings and a deep reverence for cultural roots. Tracks like "Respuesta Sensorial" and "México Máxico" exemplify the band's ability to infuse modern rock with traditional Mexican influences, while other songs like "Pájaros" and "Hombre Máquina" showcase their interest in poetic lyricism and introspective exploration. Their most recent releases maintain the band's reputation for creating thought-provoking and sonically adventurous music that defies easy categorization and continues to earn them a devoted following in Mexico and beyond.
