A Day Without Love has existed in many forms. Started as a solo act by frontman Brian Walker during his college years, the music took on the shape of a full-band when Walker collaborated with Philadelphia producer Jake Detwiler in 2013. The resulting debut EP, "Island", was a sharp contrast from the mellow acoustic musings that Walker had leaned on in the past - it was aggressive, grungy, and energetic.

Since then, A Day Without Love has seen a rotating cast of musicians surround the singer/songwriter for a handful of short releases ("Confessions of the Innocent Mind" (2014) "A Day Without Oscar" split EP(2014) , Songs for the Lonely(2015) , Young Professionals(2015).

In 2015 and 2016 A Day Without Love has played SXSW, signed to Sounds and Tones Records releasing a rerelease of Island (2013) via cassette and has been consistently touring the northeast area of the us and parts of the south. The band has done a crowd-funded fundraiser for Erika’s Lighthouse, has spoken about the importance of mental health awareness at shows, and has done a 90 covers in 90 days challenge via YouTube to bring awareness about mental health. After doing this challenge, A Day Without Love recorded a 13-song debut LP entitled, Solace that has been released August 30th, 2016.

A Day Without Love is currently collaborating with artists across America and touring.

Some people call my music quirky. I just call it original.

Port Arthur stands at the crossroads - between the earth and the sea, between matter and mind, between now and what comes next. Port Arthur's foundation is the music of Philadelphia singer-songwriter Luke Shefski, in collaboration with some of the most remarkable musicians in Philadelphia. They take inspiration from the untamed energy that simmers just below the surface of the ocean, and from the darkest, wildest corners of the forests of Pennsylvania.

Port Arthur’s debut full-length album, “Everything’s Incredible,” relates stories about the challenging journey into adulthood, and the crises of the heart and body that invariably share the journey. Hailed as “amazing” by Radio Static Philly, “Everything’s Incredible” is the culmination of years of writing, arranging, and performance. It is a sonic treasure of an album, engineered and co-produced by Doug Raus as one of the final projects from Brighton Sound Studio.
