NORMANS share captivating desert acoustic video for "gritty hit" from Solid Brass debut via Get Some Magazine



“Ironically uplifting… This song is fast garage punk with a classic rock punch, and it’s addictively upbeat and danceably dire at the same time.” — CvltNation


“At turns dark, menacing, ear-splitting and chaotic, or all of that at once, and fully lives up to its claim to be a dissection of ‘the terrified animal caged within us all.’ It should just come with an all-purpose DANGER sign.” — Buzzbands.LA


"A true punk sound... This is the kind of thing punk rock has always stood for -- it doesn't have to be perfect. But it has to be real."  -- Get Some Magazine




Southern California band NORMANS share a captivating live acoustic video today for "Schloss Loss", a standout from their recently released debut self-titled album on Solid Brass Records. The video is hosted by L.A. magazine Get Some Magazine HERE. Direct YouTube HERE.)

In 2021, in the lingering haze of the global pandemic and several nautical miles off the coast of Los Angeles in a broken down boat, Southern California natives and stalwarts of the local DIY music scene Matthew Reid (Blonde Summer) and Michael Perry Rudes (FEELS) decided it was time to embark on a new musical odyssey together; one that championed fearlessness, rawness, and above all, freedom. 


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.
