What's Up. Today's song is Feel It Still by Portugal The Man.
I almost forgot about this song, but luckily it popped up on my YouTube recommended. These guys have been active since 2004 and despite the name, are actually from Alaska. Apparently there are two meanings for the band name. First because they didn't want to name the group after any one member they decided to go with a country which is a group of people and that was just the first one that came to mind. The period separates it, and the man part refers to any member of the band, essentially the individual. But apparently the name was also going to be the title of a book one member was planning to write about his father. So currently the members are John Gourley, Zachary Carothers, Kyle O'Quin, Eric Howk, Jason Sechrist, and Zoe Manville. There are lots of previous members so I'm not going to list them, but you can look them up. They ended up moving to Portland to record their music, and have since released eight albums, this song coming from one of their more recent works. So if you like it there's lots more to check out.
Peace.
