Labeled by the media as the “Hardest working band in Texasâ€, Lonestar Pornstar has sold out concerts, sold out retail stores, and now with national distribution in their corner, nothing seems impossible for this party-boy rock outfit!
This five-member music juggernaut hails from; you got it, the Lonestar State and continue to win over fans thru regional tours in musical hotspots all over Texas, Louisiana and California. This ability to win over fans is certainly not surprising considering the fact that Houston’s foremost music editor, John Nova Lomax of the Houston Press described their live show as “funk-driven, ass-shakin, gangsta-style, hard rock and then someâ€. Talk about broad musical appeal!!
LSPS independently released their full-length debut album entitled “Protection†on July 8th, 2006 featuring 23 tracks. In September of 2006, the band signed a large scale nationwide distribution contract with Starz Music/BCD Music Group based out of Kingwood, Texas. BCD also has a second office in London, England and are known mostly for platinum rap artist such as Lil' Flip, Ludacris, Missy Elliot, Chamillionaire, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Slim Thug, Bun B, and Lil’ Jon, their roster also includes Papa Roach and Marzi (formerly of Superjoint Ritual). As of December 5th, 2006 the album is distributed in all major retail stores across the U.S. including but not limited to, Best Buy, FYE, Circuit City, CD Warehouse, Target, Sam Goody and is also available for purchase on iTunes.
Their debut album SOLD OUT at several FYE and Best Buy stores in and around the Houston area within the first week it was released and was nominated as “Best album of the year†in the 2006 Texas Buzz Music Awards on Clear Channel station FM 94.5 KTBZ. Regardless of the fact the CD was only released less than 30 days earlier, the album was also ranked one of the top ten albums of 2006 in the December 28th issue of the Houston Chronicle. The album has received a generous amount of airtime and promotion from both commercial and college radio stations all over Texas and parts of the midwest. The band even went on to write and record a theme song for Clear Channel's FM 94.5 The Buzz in honor of the program's official "Steak & BJ Day" on the Rod Ryan Morning Show in Houston, TX.
LSPS won the award in 2005, 2006 and 2007 for “Best Alternative Rock Band†at the Houston Press Music Awards and joined such artist as Paul Wall, Mike Jones (Swisha House), Blue October (Universal), Michael Hagga (Dead Horse/Superjoint Ritual), and Hayes Carll (Lost Highway) in the winner’s circle. They have opened for acts such as Saliva, LIT, Vanilla Ice, Twiztid, Boon Dox, 2 Live Crew, Vallejo and many other national artist. They were also picked by the Houston Press staff as “Best live stage act of 2006†in the annual Best of Houston Awards.
The band has been compared to the likes of Snot, Rage Against The Machine, (HED) p.e., the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, and Suicidal Tendencies. Their musical talents and energetic live shows have won them the endorsements of Rock Star Energy Drink and Halo Custom Guitars.

“The new music exposes the darker side of Lonestar Pornstar†- James Hook/Skull Sessions Studios
“We believe the music composed in this next album will not only open more doors for LSPS but blow them wide open with our redefined, straight forward, in your face, and harder than ever before no-nonsense rock while still holding true to our trademark style and sound. The new music is more hard rock and less rap rock. We think the new songs show more of our true colors and definitely exploit our diverse musical influences focusing more on everyday life, struggles with addiction, dysfunctional relationships, even politics and our government’s current thought process or lack thereof†- Gregg Stegman/LSPS.
“LSPS has put the fun, excitement, sex and debauchery back in rock n roll again and not a moment too soon.†– BCD Music Group
"If California can claim the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Texas has Lonestar Pornstar." - Music News Magazine
"Live shows are a searing mix of music and mayhem. Pounding drums collide with break-neck turntable scratches. Swaggering vocals crash against fiery guitar riffs." - Houston Chronicle
"The thing is as soon as you are hooked, the band takes out a shovel and hits you upside the head. The beat picks up, the vocals get a bit angrier and then they take you back down to the dark recesses of rock you were at before your musical lobotomy." - SugarBuzz Magazine
"This is not your mother's rock band" - INsight Magazine
"The best party band in Texas." - Joey Guerra/Houston Chronicle
"Women, debauchery and trouble. Lonestar Pornstar is the modern day Motley Crue." - Devon Mikeska/Live Nation
