Once upon a time, there was a group from Norway called Pornshot. Without giving away too much secret information (which the EU would LOVE to get their grubby hands on), here is their story...
Fiona (a.k.a. "The Diva"), bored with Scandinavian cloudy days, started the band with some friends in the early '90s. After her ambition to become an international rock-goddess scared off most of the original members, she was forced to leave her hometown in southern Norway and set up camp in the capital city of Oslo. There she started working as a photographer and played in a lot of different bands with a lot of different people before she finally met a group of handsome young men who could rock it like no other.
After becoming well-known for their energetic live shows and Fiona's unique style and behavior (dressing up as a Japanese school-girl, screaming her heart out while jumping up and down!!), the band went into the studio, shifted some members, altered their hair color, hired an army of stylists, photographers and choreographers, traveled the world and set things on fire.
Pornshot even played at a festival with the Prince of Norway in the audience. Afterwards he came up to the band, got a t-shirt and thanked them for the concert, saying he had enjoyed it very much.
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.
