The New Pornographers
The New Pornographers
The New Pornographers is a Canadian indie rock group formed in 1997 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Their sound is influenced by that of such power pop bands as The Cars and Cheap Trick, but they use much more sophisticated rhythms and chord changes. Although it was widely reported that the New Pornographers got their name from a pamphlet put out by televangelist Jimmy Swaggart condemning rock ‘n’ roll as “the new pornography,” Carl Newman has stated that he came up with the name after watching Shohei Imamura's The Pornographers (1966).
The band have released a series of well-received albums: Mass Romantic (2000), Electric Version (2003), Twin Cinema (2005), Challengers (2007), Together (2010), Brill Bruisers (2014) and Whiteout Conditions (2017), In the Morse Code of Brake Lights (2019) and in March 2023 released Continue as a Guest.
On April 17, 2025, drummer Joe Seiders, who had been with the band since 2014, was arrested in California on child pornography charges, leading to the band to immediately fire him.
The bands members include:
Carl Newman - vocals, guitar, ebow, synthesizer, harmonica, pump organ, xylophone Kathryn Calder - vocals, piano Neko Case - vocals, tambourine John Collins - bass, guitar, synthesizer, ebow, vocals Todd Fancey - guitar Blaine Thurier - synthesizerCurrent touring members:
