In 2019, Porter Porter Ben Porter began cutting his teeth in music as a bassist for the hardcore band, Tenfold, in 1996. Shortly after, the need to explore music led to a short stent playing drums in the band, Blue Minus, with his college mate, Scott Mathews. Although the band was short lived, the connection with Scott blossomed into yet another band. They formed the band Serus Victoria in 2002. Five years and two albums later, the band split when Ben relocated to Beaverton, Oregon, where he began exploring writing on his own. Now, after a 7 year hiatus (mainly due to raising 2 kids), he's back and creating again. This time, with his new band, The LP Experiment, he and his bandmate, Nick Lind, go forth to create and explore new heights in their music with their upcoming album entitled "The Astronaut's Dilemma" and the EP "Life and Everything In Between."
