(Hollywood, CA) Multi-award-winning prolific director and old-school punk rock bassist Jim Powers (aka Jim Lane) and punk rock band Killroy have dropped a new single, “Street Bowling.” They’re set to bring the noise to Bar 10 inside the Corbin Bowl on Friday, August 1st.
Underground punk band Killroy has released a new single. “Street Bowling” features two new high-energy classic punk rock tracks—the title song, “Klaus Schwab,” and the previously released “TV.” This is their first release of 2025. Original members Jim Lane, Tom De Spain, and Eric Troop, with new edition Ken Wilkes on drums, can’t wait for their fans to indulge in the mayhem. Apple Music subscribers can listen to “Street Bowling” on Apple Music for free. Buy the single and their previous EPs, albums, and more in the iTunes Store.
To celebrate the release of their new single and playing Rebellion 2025 in Blackpool, England, on August 8th, Killroy will headline the Send Off to Rebellion Festival in England on Friday, August 1st, at Bar 10 inside the Corbin Bowl. Supporting them will be Sidekick, LA Slum Lords, and The Cursed Machine. The cover is $15 at the door, and it’s an all-ages show. Bar 10 is located in Corbin Bowl, 19616 Ventura Blvd. Tarzana, CA 91356.
“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. Many of our fans can’t make it to Blackpool, so we’re doing a send-off show. Mark your calendars and be there! And check out the new single!” says Jim Powers.

ABOUT JIM POWERS
Jim Powers is one of the most prolific directors of our time who’s always been known for being controversial and once told Forbes he wants to be the Warren Buffett of porno. Growing up in the Valley in the 1970s, Jim was influenced by comic books, horror movies, fan magazines, and skateboarding, and in the 1980s, all he wanted to do was be a punk rocker and skateboarder. After graduating from Cal State Northridge, he became a stockbroker, a DVD distributor, and a part-time pornographer.
In 1992, while gambling in Ballys in Vegas, Jim wandered into the AVN Awards and decided he could make a better movie than most people there for $5k—he and his friend put up $2500 each to make “The Hills Have Thighs.” Kevin Beachum of Midnight Pictures encouraged him to shoot amateurs on the beach, even though he had never even picked up a camera. While shooting on the beach in Malibu, his set was shut down, and he was hit with felony charges of pandering and conspiracy. He continued to shoot at private houses and swinger parties for Beachum and other companies to cover his legal bills.
In 1993, a chance meeting with Jeff Mike of JM Productions led to history when the two joined forces, regularly pushing the limits of sex while still staying out of prison. Jim helped them roll out their bukkake line and invented American Bukkake—Downtown Larry Melrose from the Howard Stern Show was frequently on his sets. Jim had his own company, Powersville, and directed for legendary adult studios Heatwave, Mayhem, Sin City, Notorious, Immoral Productions, and Smash Pictures. Currently, he directs for Gender X, Devil’s Film, BiPhoria, Dogfart, Zero Tolerance, Adult Time, Transfixed, Fantasy Massage, and Addicted to Girls, and averages over 300 scenes per year. In 2023, ASN Lifestyle Magazine profiled him with a 10-page feature.
With 50 performer credits and thousands of scenes as a director, Jim won Director of the Year (Body of Work) and Best Director – Non-Feature from the AVN Awards and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2005. He’s also scored countless AVN Awards nominations for Best Director, Best Director – Feature, Director of the Year: Individual Project, Best Directing Portfolio – Specialty, Best Director – Parody, Director of the Year (Body of Work), Director – Non-Feature, and Best Videography, as well as Gonzo Director of the Year from the XBIZ Awards, Best Producer Nominee from the TEAs, Best Director – Parody from XRCOs, and Top BDSM Release from AEBN’s VOD Awards.
During the Black Flag era, Jim sported a mohawk and toured in punk rock bands. He still plays bass in the punk rock band Killroy at high-end venues like Roxy, Viper Room, and Knitting Factory.
