[[Front Porch Campaign]] began in the fall of 1996, about exactly a century after William McKinley coined the term to describe his laid-back method of gaining the presidency. However, whereas [[Front Porch Campaign]]’s methods may bear more than a striking resemblance to McKinley sitting on his porch in Ohio and carefully spinning soundbites, their music is anything but laid-back. Raucous, raw, and driving, like sixties garage, at times melodic and homespun like the Byrds, the band speaks – loudly – from experience. | [[Front Porch Campaign]] began in the fall of 1996, about exactly a century after William McKinley coined the term to describe his laid-back method of gaining the presidency.
