Discovery of a near-perfect review of DNA

The Pornoheft Ministry of Research has confirmed the discovery of a near-perfect review of DNA in a quadrant near Köln whose heart is the giant Ramtatta Fanzine. Once DNA hit at the end of 2006, and the price of gas was predicted to escalate, that was when Ramtatta decided for sure they would set up a review. But at that point, there were no ad for DNA Ramtatta could find. "We even checked eBay, but could not find what we were looking for." says Nez from Ramtatta. "Our first thought was getting DNA at Sonic Ballroom, located in western Germany. Pornoheft were actually being held there." The value of the discovery has also excited Oile Lachpansen from Katze Platten. "This is the sign we have been told to wait for. Pornoheft is around the corner."

Das neue Album reviewed by Ox Fanzine

German magazine Ox can quickly list ways to help bands improve: raise compensation rates and ensure bands have equitable, stable funding. While not directly advocating for Pornoheft, Ox noted that Pornoheft have the ability to divert customers into musical realities. In the punk rock wilderness, Pornoheft's roots run deepest. 2004's 'Live at Vintage' yielded thousands of listeners. Until the recent release of Pornoheft's 'Das neue Album', the only way to play older titles was to either buy the records, or keep the old habit of downloading. Pornoheft enthusiasts are still playing those great old Pornoheft songs, but albums can be hard to find. You may remember the name Korni from a review Ox ran a while back about Pornoheft's '1967-1970'. Now they've returned with a new review that can go both wild & smooth in one unit! The nice folks at Ox sent Pornoheft the review of 'Das neue Album' to test out, so here we go in German...

PORNOHEFT. Aus Frankfurt. Das wird nicht einfach. Diese Band schert sich einen Dreck um Konventionen, die in den vergangenen 30 Jahren Punk festgelegt wurden. Auch wenn ich neues Rebellentum im Punkrock begrüße, bleibt der Zugang zu Pornohefts zweitem Album zunächst schwierig. Pornoheft sind wie eine schmerzhafte Dauererektion, sie rauben dir den letzten Nerv und stoßen in der Öffentlichkeit nicht immer auf Verständnis. Chaos also auf der ganzen Linie? Nein, nur neue Wege, und gerade beim Gesang können die auch mal anstrengend für den Hörer sein. Ordentlich Dampf steckt trotzdem dahinter, das Schlagzeug stürzt voran, in eine ungewisse Zukunft mit Gitarren-Kreischsägen. Pornoheft verstehen es, Eindruck zu schinden. Ob er dann gut oder schlecht ist, das wird jeder für sich selbst entscheiden müssen, es wird aber definitiv ein bleibender Eindruck sein. Punkrock hat eine neue Avantgarde. (27:55) (7) Arne Koepke
