NORMA JEAN: Performance Footage Of New Song Available

November 27, 2009

Fan-filmed video footage of Atlanta-based post-hardcore rockers NORMA JEAN performing a brand new song, tentatively titled "Kill More Presidents", on November 21, 2009 at the White Rabbit in San Antonio, Texas can be viewed below.

NORMA JEAN recently inked a deal with Razor & Tie. The band is headlining the "Explosions 2009" U.S. tour in November/December before entering the studio in January to begin recording a new album for a summer 2010 release. During the current trek, NORMA JEAN will play its breakthrough album, "Bless The Martyr and Kiss the Child", in its entirety on select dates. This is the band's first headlining trek since the fall of last year and boasts an impressive lineup — HORSE THE BAND, THE CHARIOT and ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS — with a few surprises from the powerful live band.

Cory Brandan of NORMA JEAN commented, "If we didn't sign to Razor & Tie, I think we would have gone on a killing spree, with no regard for life or limb. I think for the first time in our career, upon presenting our ideas, we get to hear the word 'yes' more often. It's like discovering an unknown tribe on a distant island. Except we're the tribe and we don't know your language. Plus we have spears and swords and we're cannibals. Either way, we're insanely animated about R&T showing up and want to try on their Nike Air Jordans."

NORMA JEAN has released four albums to date, with combined sales of over 360,000 copies. The band's last album, "The Anti Mother", debuted at #29 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and received rave reviews, with Alternative Press calling it "ambitious and addictive." The CD featured Page Hamilton of HELMET as well as a collaboration with DEFTONES frontman Chino Moreno.
