   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 did not know you's were on the bill before i got there. i came to see my friends band and see a girl.. oh man, i have been meaning to see you's and it was PERFECT. carlos was very nice outside as i and my friend stephanie were referred to drink elephant beer sitting on the fender of a strangers vehicle. i wanted to purchase a cd but my pockets were emptied just to get inside! oh man.. okay.
thank you for existing, love, emit (time backwards)/
