Pure Bathing Culture and their dreamy pop ballads have earned praise from the Portland music community over the past year and it’s no wonder as to why. Their hazy, lighthearted songs perpetuate feelings of exuberance through warm guitar tones and endearing vocal melodies that can bring warmth to the dreariest overcast day. Congratulations on placing second in our Band of the Year poll, your soothing sounds deserve the recognition. – Benjamin Toledo
