Aside from being finalists in the "Best Band Name" category, The Whore Moans are killer performers who bring punk energy to everything they do.  (And that's a good thing.)  The Seattle band definitely livened up our last round of sessions in Portland.   While the band name may cause some to groan- is this a novelty act?- I can say unequivocally that you should take this band seriously if you like your music raw, passionate, and loud.

While we expected the punk passion, we were more impressed with the quality of the songs, especially, "White Noise Melody", which sounds like a cross between Rancid and Green Day.    Also check out the high-wire act of drummer Jason on "Wall of a Song"-- yes, it is possible to stand on your drums while playing.
