Hun catchy rocksongs nestelen zich als een virus onder je hersenpan. Metro(VL)
New single ‘Boom Boom’ and quality tracks such as ‘Pull my trigger’, ‘Long Hot Shuffle’ and ‘Touchy Type’ make this band one of UP Front’s top tips for success.
And on stage, these talented lads are tight as a badger’s dangler – basically, a ‘must see’. UPFront Magazine
Opener It’s My Fit slaat aan vanaf de eerste noot. De structuur is zodanig goed opgebouwd dat je het refrein tegen het einde van het lied perfect kan meeneuriën, zonder dat de herhaling je op de zenuwen werkt. Integendeel, je wil het nummer wel drie keer na elkaar beluisteren. En hoe verder je je verdiept in het album, hoe meer nummers dat gevoel oproepen. Damusic
Op ‘Click here’ gaan de songs op overwinningstocht met hun combinatie van de groove van Soulwax en het vuur van Dead Man Ray. Voeg daar de neo-glam glitter aan toe van een zanger met een christusachtige pose, een bas die op de knieschijven mikt en blazers die discreet extra kracht toevoegen, en de weddenschappen zijn open. The Ticket

Dit is ook zo bij Pull my Trigger, Even so en More Things. CJP

Welcome at pornorama.be
The full site will be on line as from september 2005.
Be sure to check back for full info, downloads and assorted goodies!
Pornorama started at The Tube, Sebastian’s' home studio, where he invited several fellow musicians to hook up on some tunes. After a few months there was a nice list of songs and the search for a name and band members started.
Pornorama is Sebastian Omerson (voc, guit), Jurgen Dewaele (voc, bass), David Bratzlavsky (guit) and Maarten Keteleer (drums). Started out for only three months, the band was already invited for a few festivals and got airplay on Belgian national radio. Record company GreenLFant seemed very interested and recordings for the first album started.
For this fine piece of work, a lot of fellow musicians joined in, Stephane Misseghers (dEUS) took care of recording/production, Allan Gevaert (dEUS) joins in for some songs. The result is "Under the second", a record with an eclectic gathering of songs, from dark emo (It Beats Fred) to up tempo party music (Get you off), as well as mighty rockers (Lofi, Kicking in side effects) and of course the radio singles (Eddy & Irene, Better off dead, Get you off).
After touring in Belgium, France, Switzerland and Holland and playing at nice festivals such as Dour and Bucolique, the band started on new songs. The new record will be out on January 29 2009. Again Sebastian and Stéphane Misseghers shook hands on this, the result is a tiny masterpiece named "Click here". Prepare for mighty rockers, loony tunes, goofy shuffles and four to the floors. First single of this record is Boom Boom.
