Listen to Porno For Pyro’s first song in 26 years, ‘Agua’
Porno For Pyros have shared their first new song in 26 years. Listen to ‘Agua’ below.
The band – consisting of Perry Farrell, Stephen Perkins and Peter DiStefano – have partnered with the Surfrider Foundation to support the protection of the oceans and coasts with the release of the track.
“The people who live here on the West Coast have a beautiful love and passion for the Pacific Ocean,” Farrell said in a statement.
“The ocean doesn’t look right, doesn’t feel right, doesn’t surf right. You go and swim in it, and you get the creeps. The sunsets are different. We are really, really screwing it up. We have to do something about it. I wanted to bring attention to it through the best megaphone that I know, which is music.”
Farrell also recently shared his excitement for the launch of new music. “Now we’re here, and that same heart, that same desire to make music together, has returned,” he said. “Getting together with these guys has been some of the most fun, the happiest times in my life.”
