   About NORMAL LOVE
"Normal love isn't interesting. I assure you that it's incredibly boring."
-Roman Polanski

++++Stoking the community since '06, NORMAL LOVE is a Philadelphia based quintet comprised of amplified violin, two electric guitars, electric bass, and drum set.++++

“Technical near near-impossibility aside, Normal Love’s music molds tightly-coiled power riffing into segments of acidic beauty and transcendent force."
-Signal To Noise

“Philly’s best metal band is also its best avant-garde classical ensemble. Or possibly it’s the other way around. Unlike symphonic metal bands that simply layer cheesy strings over bombastic rock songs, Normal Love writes intricate and difficult instrumental pieces inspired by modernist classical composers, and then play them with death-metal ferocity. The result is music that succeeds at being alternately brutal and beautiful, sometimes both at the same time. By totally shredding and shredding clichés, Normal Love is proving that prog doesn’t have to be a four letter word.”
–Billboard.com

“For all their precision, and holy hell, the aural somersaults and tightrope-walks they pull off make Cirque du Soleil look like a flea circus, NORMAL LOVE is messy. Rock ‘n’ roll messy. Spontaneous-combustion messy… NL, which recently released its debut self-titled CD on High Two, makes brutally intricate music, aggressive and perfectionist. If the Warriors had scratched past the Orphans and the Baseball Furies only to chance upon a shiv-wielding chamber ensemble, Normal Love would be perfectly cast.”
-Philadelphia City Paper

“Philly’s Normal Love are a breed apart, ripping through hypercomplex scores with the chops of a chamber ensemble and the intensity of a metal band. Sure, they’re “loud and brutal,” ultradissonant, but darned if they aren’t poised and polished.”
-Philly Weekly

"Along with Zs, this Philadelphia band is the future of music. Buckle up and get ready."
-Music Meridian

I wish I lived in Philly so I could see you guys live again.

I have a new song up - don't know if it's your cup of acid-laced tea but check it out.

Someone Wrote, "With So Many Friends, How Can I Be Special"? Well, I've Known A Lot Of People, But Never Too Successful With Friends. Now I Can See People Differently. Nothing Is Perfect, But Myspace Gives Me The Opportunity To Know You And What You Do. I Respect That And You. I Am Proud To Have You As A Friend.

Hey Normal Love,

This is the weirdo who bought your CD with a check at the Dreamland Theater show.
You guys are fucking amazing, I try to get everyone I can to listen to you, with mixed results. Please come to Michigan more often (maybe a larger venue than Dreamland, but still I'd love to see your music live again).
Anyways thanks for the add, check out my music if you get a chance (it's nothing nearly as mindblowing as Ndugo, though.
)
