Playing For Change Foundation (Pfcf), esteemed for amplifying local impact zones through music and community support, is rallying behind 12-year-old Frances Gourley.

Portugal. The Man have recruited an unlikely guest, the metal wiz Mizmor, to do a reworking of their song “Doubt,” which originally appeared on their June 2023 album Chris Black Changed My Life.
While Mizmor’s black metal definitely seems like a far cry from Portugal. The Man’s retro-inspired pop-rock, the two acts actually do have a personal connection: “My brother, Ryan, used to play in Portugal. The Man, and I was the kid brother who played heavy music,” Mizmor says in a press release. “Instead of stripping everything away and rebuilding from the ground up, like many remixes do, I was able to almost directly adapt the chords into my style.”
Complete with an extra doom-y outro that cleverly weaves in vocals from Ptm’s own Zoe Manville, Mizmor’s version of “Doubt” isn’t just a remix — it’s a whole new beast. Watch the equally-harrowing music video below.
