'Sweet and Salt' is a great Progressive Rock track

Slightly darker in feel but still very much Port Noir, the new album 'Cuts' bristles with energy, intensity and musical depth, ensuring it will be an album that’s impact will be felt immediately. The band released the first single 'All Class' on December 3rd, 2021 which included a music video for the track, the second single 'Sweet and Salt' will be released February 11th.
