The Porn Issue are a 3-piece band hailing from Calne in Southwest England, originally forming around November 2008 when Singer/Songwriter Daz Gossage started jamming and perfoming songs with drummer Lee Epplestone. In late April 2009, Daz and Lee recruited bassist Leo Pulvirenti to complete the line up. Now with a fully fledged band, the group are looking to spread the word.

With two critically acclaimed EPs under their belts (see the Media section for reviews) the band have played over 200 gigs in Wiltshire and beyond.

With a sound so diverse, with everything from edgy pulsating riffs, to melodic soulful vocals, to elements of Jazz, this band could possibly be the Southwest's best kept secret ...

... but for how long?

"with a multitude of seventies style classic rock riffs, bass driven funk sections and a prog influenced grasp on dynamic song structure... the band retain the raw, unpretentious immediacy of a group of musicians playing together for the sheer joy of it"

- rockpulse.co.uk

"Like a fine wine, they are improving with time. With their totally original fusion of Funk and Prog Rock, these guys are going places!"

- Eartunes Radio

"The Porn Issue possess what can only be described as a raw charm... making a little niche for themselves, they aren't trying to sound like another band, they're trying to mix it up. This is a band who seem like they're enjoying what they're doing"

- Live Music Scene

"They may have their feet grounded largely in a rock idiom, but the extra detail and the quality of the song writing is what makes this transcend lesser efforts. It�s a strange brew [but] although all of their references points seem to be from scenes at least thirty years past, there is nothing retro about the music this trio make. And they make it so well"
