“Southern rock swagger aplenty in this band’s hard rock attack… can just as easily toggle between harsh aggression to sweet melodies.”
– STEREOGUM
“Somewhere along the way it became lame to say “this song rocks,”
but genuinely, this song rocks.”
– NYLON
“Incredible”
– MPLS.ST.PAUL MAGAZINE
“Heavy rock instrumentation supports Jackie Uhas’ powerhouse vocals, complete with a couple breakup ballad moments”

Coming off of breakout performances at Lollapalooza and Hinterland, Minneapolis band Porch Light are excited to announce their debut album, Hush, available September 18, 2026 via Mom + Pop. Recorded at Pachyderm Studios with producer Caleb Wright (Samia, Hippo Campus), the 11-track record was built on the road-tested chemistry of a band that’s spent the past two years touring behind their debut EPs. Hush moves between riff-driven rock anthems and stripped-back ballads, anchored throughout by vocalist Jackie Uhas’s rangy, unfiltered delivery. Hush is the sound of a band translating their explosive live show onto record for the first time.
“To us as a band, ‘Hush’ is a symbol of our growth as musicians and as people,” the band explains. “It includes themes that deal with loss, growth, recovery, and progression. This collection of songs marks an important point in our lives where we come to terms with where we’ve been and where we’re going in the future.”
PRE-ORDER HUSH
Earlier this summer, the band shared their first new music of 2026 with “Arctic” and “Under.” “Arctic” captures the group at their most unfiltered, exploring tension between commitment and longing; the push and pull of wanting a deeper, more consuming connection even within an already invested relationship. Wiry guitars underline vocalist Jackie Uhas’s urgent vocals, as the song soars towards a cathartic release. Centered around the idea of creating a mosh pit-inducing anthem, “Under” charges forth with heavy riffs and Jackie’s most powerful vocal performance yet. Churning with urgency and rhythmic heft, “Under” showcases the group’s vigorous angst and strong melodies all at once.

LISTEN TO “ARCTIC”
Last year, Porch Light shared their second EP, Navy Blue. A flurry of online support from a burgeoning worldwide fandom continued, embracing the vulnerable nature of tracks like “Oxygen,” which amassed over 10 million views across platforms, and streamed over 500k in just the first 3 days. Over 715k followers between TikTok and Instagram quickly followed, filling the band’s comment sections with demands for new music.
Since their debut, Porch Light have played sold-out shows across North America and supported bands like Arcy Drive, Spacey Jane, Goth Babe, and more. This summer, they appeared at a variety of major festivals, from Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL, and Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI, to an upcoming performance at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, GA. Their first headlining tour of North America begins September 22 in Dallas, TX, bringing the rising five-piece through major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
