Over time, it evolved into a four-piece group, with members including keyboardist Georgie Stott, bassist Maddie Ryall, and drummer Sam Yardley. Porridge Radio gained recognition in the British indie scene for their intense live performances and a distinctive blend of lo-fi production, existential lyricism, and emotionally charged melodies. Their breakthrough came with the critically acclaimed 2020 album "Every Bad," released under the Secretly Canadian label.
