In 2005, the band issued its first realease, an EP called Donde Los Ponys Pastan, under the independent label 3er Piso. Singles Espiral and Daphne are both from this EP. Porter made it to the semi-finals of an indie rock band contest called "0-Music", with the song No Te Encuentro later that year. Their second release, and only long play album was Atemahawke, this being their most popular and acknowledged album. The only single from this album, Host of a Ghost, received substantial radio and TV play, as well as a music video.

Pero no quieres ser ahorcado
Veme a los ojos, la quemamos
Vamos, el pueblo está esperando
No seas tonto
Hansel, debes fingir
O más bien ¿cuántas veces?
El mundo es cruel, te va a comer
Si tú antes no lo atacas a él
¿De que forma te explicaré?
O más bien ¿cuántas veces?
El mundo es cruel, te va a comer
Si tú antes no lo atacas a él
No seas débil
Hoy te vi titubear
¿De qué forma te explicaré?
O más bien ¿cuántas veces?
El mundo es cruel, te va a comer
Si tú antes no lo atacas a él
¿De qué forma te explicaré?
O más bien ¿cuántas veces?
El mundo es cruel, te va a comer
Si tú antes no lo atacas a él
(Gretel, soñé con él otra vez)
Mira lo que has hecho otra vez
Mira lo que has hecho otra vez
