New Pornographers The New Pornographers are a Juno Award winning Canadian indie rock group with a sound highly influenced by such power pop bands as The Cars and Cheap Trick. Carl Newman, who writes most of the band's material, has said, 'When I seriously started to try to write songs, my main influences were Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Webb, and Brian Wilson. Those were the guys I kinda looked at their music and went, 'What the hell are they doing?' The New Pornographers are frequently referred to as a supergroup - or an indie supergroup - because of the members' associations. Newman, however, doesn't care for the term, explaining: 'I'm really tired of that supergroup label, and I wish people would stop using it. None of us were known at all outside of Canada - I just don't think it's accurate'. The name of the band was chosen by Newman to reflect a quotation attributed to Jimmy Swaggart, who once called music 'the new pornography,'
