Southern California noise-punk band NORMANS share the official video for “Murder Rich” today from their forthcoming debut self-titled album, to be released in January ’24 on Solid Brass Records.
NORMANS was born on the dirty streets of L.A. and baptized in the punk rich waters of Hermosa Beach; the city that gave us Black Flag, Redd Kross, Minutemen and more. Years of exposure and participation in the myriad of genres and sounds that make up the vibrant music scene resulted in a multi-genre-bending, bass and synth fueled cacophony that pays homage to the ghosts of Killing Joke, The Jesus Lizard, GVSB and The Birthday Party.
NORMANS have managed to stitch together elements of surf, post punk, noise rock and Wax Trax era electro-industrial music for a sound that is urgent, angry, and simultaneously danceable. Oozing with satire and shrouded in bizarre visual art and imagery, bassist and vocalist Matthew Reid explores issues of violence, drug use, and the terrified animal caged within us all. Where their musical journey takes them will keep us wondering. What is certain is the band’s willingness to propel themselves into uncharted waters, unlike the boat they started on just a few short years ago.
NORMANS will be available on LP and digital on January 12th, 2024 via Solid Brass Records.
NORMANS Tour Dates:
12/06 Los Angeles, CA – Knucklehead
01/11/24 Los Angeles, CA – Permanent Records Roadhouse
