Consensual *censored word* between the speakers and your ears. It's the kind of *censored word* anyone can enjoy, but not all choose to due to the fact that some religions and moral ethics bar pre-marital *censored word.*
Norwood has not always been the class act that it is today, nor has it always been a quartet of young aspiring musicians. Undergoing several name changes throughout the years, original members Jared Donisvitch, Nash Aatlo, and Sam Monaco thrashed the music scene under such aliases as Second Letter before indefinitely changing their name to Norwood (the street on which the band performs their weekly jammings). For a while, the aforementioned Norwood played shows at Deering High School and a few outside of school until they eventually broke into the top 5 at the Reindeer Records Rock Off. It was here that they placed last out of the final five, but Nash was determined the best bassist in the entire Rock Off. Soon after, he quit rocking the bass for Norwood in order to pursue his dream of being a kickass guitarist.
It was approximately the time that Nash quit when Jake Regier joined the prominent rock outfit to fulfill Jared's requests at having a second guitarist. At this point, Norwood had no bassist and thus Patrick Russell was sprinkled into this delicious concoction of man-batter. It was this man-batter that would be baked and frosted to create this delicious cake which is presented to you this very day. If you do not like that analogy then you are probably not a fan of the brute rock AND roll. Less than a month into being, the newly formed Norwood went into the studio to record four tracks, two of which you may listen to on this very site. The new Norwood has now been rockin' the local scene since May of 2006. As of Saturday, February 24, Norwood has begun work on creating their first full length release which is tentatively entitled "Pullin' Out," in reference to several jokes made by the band's members. It should be out this summer.
Jared Donisvitch - A 18 year old man who enjoys throwing it in and playing guitar in his spare time. He's by far the bad boy of the band whom all the ladies desire. If he's not kicking back and enjoying a *censored word* then you could probably find him kicking back and enjoying a *censored word.*
Jake Regier - A 17 year old almost-man who has reportedly and factually spent more time performing and recording his own music rather than Norwood's. He is a member of the local Portland rap group "Ja-Red 'n' J-Riggy." They will perform at your party.
Sam Monaco - Being an 18 year old rebel, Sam enjoys going to Hookah Bars and lighting up a good, legal smoke. He's like a white Snoop Dogg but with a much worse temper. Try not to get on his bad side, it's not hard to do. By far the most versatile member of the band and the greatest at his own instrument, Sam has the ability to perform on several staple instruments of a rock band.
Patrick Russell - A 16 year old former-guitarist turned bassist, so the opposite of Nash, Patrick was formally the lead player for local *censored word* improv group Knights of the Impaler for whom he tore it up. He can play the bass relatively well. This man will punch you in the face if you have Drew Bassett anywhere in your name.
