Just as the name suggests, Australia’s Portal Gun traverses musical dimensions as if something out of science fiction. Blending groove-based rhythms and profound themes of life, purpose, and society, the 3-piece creates a unique soundscape through every release, leaving you with both question and answer; always satisfied but always wanting more.
 

Between Edward Jacobs (Vocals/Guitar), Tim Bayne (Backing Vocals/Drums), and Matt Rowan (Bass), Portal Gun’s creativity sets them apart in the contemporary music scene. Notably, their ability to fuse funk and psych rock elements - Edward Jacobs's soulful vocals soaring over Tim Bayne's dynamic drumming, while the added keys and synth textures add to the depth and atmosphere. Matt Rowan's pulsating bass lines anchoring the band's sound, providing a solid foundation for their sonic explorations.
 

Marking a significant level of development, Portal Gun released their debut album 'Synthetic Society' in 2023, highlighting their musicality and distinctive sound throughout the 8-track offering. 2024 saw the band continue to grow, with the release of their sophomore album "Elevation Station," which saw them get added to Lochhart music festival in early 2025.
