The genre title is apt because just like porn the songs are poorly scripted, the acting\/singing is terrible, the songs seem to be written over a weekend and there is little interest in giving more then one take. Songs about glory holes, porn stars and other crude sexual humour that may be construed as funny if the band wasn\u2019t so sad. Like a twelfth-rate Kid Rock (and I fucking hate Kid Rock) this band is fronted by the rap\/rocking Joey Bigapini which embodies every over-sexualized, cocaine-addled rock star clich\u00e9 and then some. The real kicker is that the band is so creative that producer Mark \u201cFeedback\u201d Nakamura had to write all their forgettable smutty tunes such as \u201cBionic Chronic\u201d and \u201cLove You Long Time.\u201d Despite Wank Punter\u2019s many, many, failings as an entity, it\u2019s strangely intriguing. Much like Troma films or Asian-singing sensation Wing or reality TV, Wank Punter might be so lame, puerile and horrifically corny that it might actually be a hit for all the wrong reasons.
