Pornshot
Beautiful female-fronted sugary fuzz-pop from Norway. Anyone who's heard it, loves it... and it's all sung in English!! Sweet enough to give you a cavity...sharp enough to drill it out! TRACK LISTING
::REVIEWS:: Pornshot is a female fronted punk band. Well, wait,
they have parts in songs that aren't really punk. And some times
the guys sing back up. But, for the most part it's a female sort
of fronted punk band. They're far more talented musically than just
a punk band, but they generally stick to the punk style. A great
song to show you just how musically talented Pornshot is (and how
deep their lyrics can go), check out the procrastinating love song
"Later". Other songs that stick out in my little mind
are "Disappointed", "I Almost Died", "Peace
and Love" and "Happy Song." Now when this CD starts,
it does so on a song called "Blush", which is a pretty
simplistic kind of styled punk song. It's fairly short, the words
rhyme so easily, and it'd be great to pogo to. But, as you get further
into the CD, you get further into their musical talent and just
what Pornshot is all about. "My Arm Is Off" is actually
fronted by male vocals and sounds something like the old Misfits,
just to give you an idea how much their song style varies from song
to song. Definitely an accomplished band worth checking out. Coming outta Norway, this band takes the Muffs formula
and turns it back to their early days, a little more punk than what
the Muffs do now, but still with plenty of melody. The guitars are
layered to create a nice buzzsaw sound, and the female vocals are
pretty snarly for me. The songs where the guy takes the lead vox
also work, as the female harmonies play off his really well. There
are also a couple of slower songs on here, and although they work
too, they don't catch the ear quite as much as the faster paced
stuff does. Solid stuff. The Norwegian scene was a lot harder back in the
80s. And whats up with that black metal stuff these days? This is
VERY melodic pop-punk with guy/girl vocals that sound more American
than Norwegian, largely on account of the fact that they sing in
English, without much trace of accents. Its not bad though, sing-along
backing harmonies keep things from being too samey, the music punks
and rocks OK, and the spirit is there. Pornshot is a Norwegian fuzzy pop-punk band. There
are parts that remind me of L7, but they are definitely more melodic
and mellower. I have to admit, I like it. I am definitely gonna
keep it and not sell it the first chance I get. I don't really know
how to explain them. They are a well-balanced, well put-together
band. They are easy to listen to and the recording is really good
for having been done in a garage. I would like to see them live
if they ever make it out to the States. I feel I would like a better
feel of who the band is and what they are about. Not bad melodic and moody punk. The music is pretty
straight forward, but done well. The female vocals are sometimes
anxious, somtimes pissed, but always fairly catchy. It sounds like
they have room to grow, but like I said, this release is enjoyable.
