"[Ports of Call] may just have got the balance spot on as they seem to have just about every weapon in their arsenal. Perfect melodies, haunting harmonies, droning riffs, and the amazing ability to get the whole Strange Glue office humming their tunes for the past month. If the world fails to fall in love with Ports of Call this year, then it can't be argued for lack of quality." -Strange Glue
Ports of Call began in 2007 when former Aircrash/L'Envoi band mates Tom Fleischer and Thomas Mosher reunited and joined forces with former House of Fire drummer Daniel Salerno. The band began writing material at a feverish pace but knew that something was missing. The group began to search for a second vocalist and soon found a perfect match in Carolynne McNeel (also of Rarebirds, Grammar Debate, Roomtone and formerly April Disaster). McNeel added essential guitar, string, and keyboard elements as well as vocals as they entered Second Story Studios in West Chester, PA to record their debut album.
"Like Thieves..." is the result of the ambitious beginnings of the band, from the drugged out rock of "Honey" to the shoegaze perfection of "Here We Are" and "Washout" all topped off by the dream pop bliss of tracks like "Claire" and "Aireals". After recording the album, bassist Andrew Grossman departed and was replaced by Stephanie Hesser (formerly of Daymaker). The now complete quintet is planning to release "Like Thieves..." in February of 2008 amidst a growing internet buzz.
