RELEASE DATE: 3rd March 2021

LABEL: PROPERTY OF THE LOST

PORBANDAR is the debut single from guitarist and producer Hans Deville, featuring the dark country baritone vocals of Andrew J Davies. This mariachi style sea shanty is the product of a reflective lockdown spent in English coastal towns.

Guitarist and producer HANS DEVILLE splits his life between the coastal town of Ramsgate and London.  He cut his rock’n’roll teeth with highly respected ska-punks KING PRAWN.  It won’t be an uncommon story, but 2020 was a trying year and we suspect this won’t be the only project born from a musician’s desire to keep creating.

Setting up a studio in his Stained-Glass workshop, a hybrid album of mariachi, sea shanty and twangy western began to develop.  Live brass was recorded by his ska punk buddies, even his mum lending an accordion playing hand on first single Porbandar.

On hearing the works in progress, old time friend Karl “Lost” Horton introduced Hans to ANDREW J DAVIES from Hastings dark country band FRANK FROM BLUE VELVET.

The pair immediately hit it off with Andrew laying down the vocals for Porbandar that very evening, taking influence from his Welsh roots by incorporating four level harmonies, much favoured by male voice choirs, in the sea shanty evoking first single.  It didn’t stop there; two more singles are planned for May and July with an album dropping in August.
