- The New Pornographers é unha banda canadense formada en 1997 en Vancouver, British Columbia. O seu son está moi influenciado por bandas de power pop como The Cars e Cheap Trick, a pesares de que as súas composicións son máis melódicas e harmonicamente máis complexas. O nome da banda foi elexido polo seu compositor e guitarrista Carl Newman. Refírese a unha cita atribuída ao telepredicador Jimmy Swaggart, que unha vez chamou á música rock "a nova pornografía".

In 2009,Rolling Stone magazine ranked the band's second studio album, Electric Version, No. 79 in the "100 Best Albums of the Decade". The name of the band was chosen by Carl Newman, who has said that he came up with it after watching a Japanese film called The Pornographers. Many writers have assumed that the name was a reference to Jimmy Swaggart's claim that rock and roll was "the new pornography." The band has released five albums to date: Mass Romantic (2000),Electric Version (2003), Twin Cinema (2005), Challengers (2007), and Together (2010). A live album recorded on their 2006 tour is available only at concerts and on the band's website. All of the band's original members were prominent within the Vancouver music scene prior to forming The New Pornographers. Kathryn Calder, who is also Newman's niece, joined the band in 2005 largely as a live replacement for Case, whose solo career often left her unavailable to perform with the band. Calder's first lead vocals for the band were on 2007'sChallengers, singing the lead on "Failsafe" and sharing the lead with Newman on "Adventures in Solitude"[citation needed]. In 2009, The New Pornographers contributed a cover of the song "Hey, Snow White" to the AIDS benefit album Dark Was the Night, produced by the Red Hot Organization. The band released their fifth album—Together—on May 4, 2010, on Matador Records. The album includes collaborations from St. Vincent, Beirut's Zach Condon, and Okkervil River's Will Sheff. In 2012, The New Pornographers contributed a cover of the song "Think About Me" for the Fleetwood Mac tribute CD called "Just Tell Me That You Want Me" released by Hear Music.
