About Norma Jean:
Norma Jean is an American progressive heavy rock band, originally from Atlanta, Georgia and currently based in Fort Smith, Arkansas. After nearly 20 years, the band identifies more as an artistic collective than a traditional band. To date, Norma Jean has released seven studio albums and received a Grammy Award nomination in 2006.
Their most ambitious album to date, Polar Similar was released in 2016. The first single, 1,00,000 Watts was premiered by NPR in a Viking’s Choice review, which said of the track, “1,000,000 Watts grooves and lashes out wildly like a caged animal, but more than ever Norma Jean colors the chaos with brooding hues. Stomping riffs alternate with angular and delayed guitar melodies in a grey haze as Cory Brandan builds his moody croons into raging screams,” and compares the release to Nine Inch Nails.
Polar Similar was recorded at Pachyderm Studio, the legendary birthplace of Nirvana’s
About Fox Lake:
Hailing from Denver, CO, Fox Lake has quickly made a name for themselves in the worlds of nü metal and hardcore. Blending elements of rhythmic groove, crushing riffs, and lyricism full of pure adrenaline, the band is shaping a new era and sound of heavy music.
The band’s debut album, New World Heat (released via MNRK Heavy), offers a blistering combo of cathartic aggression and socio-political depth.
Drawing influence from the iconic sounds of P.O.D., Limp Bizkit, Rage Against the Machine, and Trapped Under Ice, Fox Lake channels a diverse mix of nu-metal and hardcore elements, melding heavy grooves with politically charged lyrics and anthemic hooks. Whether it's the groove-driven, rhythmic power of P.O.D., the intense rap-rock energy of Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park, the rebellious spirit of Rage Against the Machine, or the hardcore fury of Trapped Under Ice, Fox Lake injects their own fire into these influences, forging a nostalgic yet fresh sound that is true to their roots.
