Their catchy hit "Feel It Still" earned the band a GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, seven-times platinum certification, a record-breaking 20 weeks at number one on alternative radio, and a strong presence on the Top 40 charts.

But behind their musical success is also their long-standing interest in social justice. The combination of music and activism is a natural fit for Portugal. The Man. In 2020, they founded the Pass The Mic Foundation, which focuses on human rights, community health, and environmental protection, with a strong emphasis on supporting indigenous peoples. The organizations supported by the foundation include Alaska Native Health, which provides cutting-edge healthcare to indigenous communities in Alaska, and Seeding Sovereignty, which focuses on land, food, and the sovereignty of indigenous peoples. The band also launched the Frances Changed My Life campaign, inspired by singer John Gourley's daughter. The aim is to help families struggling with the rare genetic condition DHDDS – both emotionally and financially.

With their new album SHISH, Gourley is using Portugal. The Man to talk about a more just and compassionate world – about taking only what we really need, becoming a voice for others and sharing the best of ourselves so that everyone has a chance to grow and be better. Across ten diverse tracks, Portugal. The Man delve into feelings of insecurity, vulnerability and the unique pop aesthetic that is their signature. SHISH is the result of a period of deep reflection by frontman John Gourley – both about music and life. The lyrics are his most honest yet; reflect not only the experiences of growing up in Alaska, but also the lessons he learned from parenting. Gourley's daughter Frances was diagnosed with one of the rarest genetic disorders in the world four years ago, and that experience has had a profound impact on his music.
