Never Mind The Bullocks, Here's BurningAngel.com

BurningAngel.com is one of the latest examples of the up-and-coming punk-porn niche. Along with Websites like MK-Magazine.com, TheRottens.com, and SuicideGirls.com, BurningAngel.com is exploring new territory on the Web, mixing rock 'n' roll, Goth, punk, and porn into one genre.

A combination of adult Website and online music magazine, BurningAngel.com was started in 2002 by friends/co-owners Joanna Angel, Mitch, and Chummy, all of whom share a common interest in music and porn.

"We were all living together in New Jersey," said Angel. "Mitch and Chummy were porn fanatics, and I was a slightly perverse girl. We wanted to design a porn site that we really wanted to see, something that represented what we liked, not just what other people liked and what would sell. So, with our combined likes for music, tattoos, and girls, BurningAngel.com began."

The site includes photo content that the co-owners describe as “tasteful, artistic, and erotic; yet dirty and titillating at the same time,” and capturing “the naturally seductive aspects of each model, both male and female.”

In addition, bands such as AFI, Marilyn Manson, Glassjaw, and The Used are interviewed on the site. Some features include MP3s of the interviews.

"We consistently put up new stills twice a week," said Angel. "New videos go up about once every two weeks and new interviews change every three weeks or so. We try to change the site as much as we can to keep our members happy.

“We also include hardcore content on the site, which our competition doesn't include.”

While the interviews are the main attraction of the magazine, the literary content of the site includes erotic fiction, journalistic articles, record reviews, horoscopes, and sex columns.

"We are the only real punk-porn site on the Net," Angel said. "We didn't just find a niche market. We weren't like, 'Hey, we could really make money off these tattooed girls.' We made a Website that reflected a community that Mitch, Chummy, and I all grew up on.

"Porn is kind of like the underground of cinema like punk is the underground of music," Angel opined when asked why porn and rock go so well together. "Both porn and punk are kind of offensive, dirty, and really anti-mainstream media.

So what does the future hold for the punks at Burning Angel?

"We're working on making a DVD that should be out sometime this summer," Angel said. "We'd also like to go into print one day. As for goals within the site itself, I just want us to do everything we're doing, but better."
