Ever wonder what a porn director does when he’s not calling the shots on a steamy set? For Jim Powers, it’s trading the camera for a bass guitar and cranking up the chaos with his punk band Killroy. The multi-award-winning director, known for his raw work at Elegant Angel, just dropped a blistering new single, “Street Bowling,” and announced a can’t-miss live show that’s got the underground buzzing.
Punk Roots and Porn Power Collide
Jim Powers, aka Jim Lane, isn’t your average adult industry titan. By day, he’s crafting some of the filthiest scenes in porn; by night, he’s a punk rock warrior, laying down gritty basslines with Killroy. This isn’t some midlife crisis hobby—Powers has been in the punk game for decades, and Killroy’s latest release proves he’s still got the edge.
“Street Bowling” Hits Hard
The new single, Street Bowling, is a three-track gut-punch of classic punk rock. You’ve got the title track, a high-octane rager, alongside “Klaus Schwab” and the re-released “TV.” It’s raw, it’s loud, and it’s everything you’d expect from a band that thrives on anarchy. Original members Jim Lane, Tom De Spain, and Eric Troop, now joined by drummer Ken Wilkes, deliver a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh. Want to check it out?

“We’re pumped for the Bar 10 show and, of course, to be heading over to the UK as part of the anarchy of Rebellion 2025. This summer is going to be epic.”
– Jim Powers

From Porn Sets to Punk Stages
What makes Powers’ double life so damn compelling? The guy’s a legend in adult entertainment, helming projects that push boundaries at Elegant Angel. But when he straps on his bass, he’s not just moonlighting—he’s channeling the same rebellious energy that fuels his X-rated work. Punk and porn aren’t so different: both thrive on rawness, defiance, and giving the middle finger to convention. Killroy’s music, much like Powers’ films, doesn’t apologize for what it is.
Fans of both worlds are eating this up. The Bar 10 show is a chance to see a porn icon in a whole new light, screaming into the void with a mic and a mission. And for those who can’t jet to Blackpool for Rebellion 2025, this send-off gig is the next best thing.
Why You Should Care
Look, Killroy isn’t topping Billboard charts, and that’s the point. This is underground, unfiltered, and unapologetic—just like the best porn out there. “Street Bowling” captures that DIY ethos, and the Bar 10 show promises to be a sweaty, chaotic night where punk’s misfits and porn’s rebels collide. If you’re in LA, get your ass to Tarzana. If not, stream the single and feel the burn.
