History
In 1997, Stephen Quirk had one of his photographs of Bully Pulpit (later known as Bullyclub) published in Portland’s Casco Bay Weekly. This led to a twelve-year collaboration with the band on various projects and introductions to other local musicians, including frequent collaborator José Ayerve of Spouse and A Severe Joy.
By 2010, Stephen sought a way to package his album design, website creation, and photography services to musicians while also helping bring attention to Maine’s thriving music scene. Factory Portland was launched as a result.
These days, Factory Portland functions solely as a blog, featuring interviews with local and non-local musicians, artists, filmmakers, and more!
