Norma Jean has premiered their first single “If You Got It at Five, You Got It At Fifty” from their forthcoming new studio album, “Wrongdoers”. The song can be streamed below.
“Wrongdoers” will be released on August 6th through Razor & Tie. The album was recorded at Covenant Recording Studios in Kansas City with producer Josh Barber and was mixed by Jeremy Griffith. Pre-order bundles for “Wrongdoers” are available at MerchNow. Bundles include t-shirts, a digipak edition of the album, a poster as well as limited edition vinyl pressed in purple, blue/grey swirl and clear. There is also an exclusive limited edition special 3.5” vinyl featuring B-sides.
“Wrongdoers” is the band’s sixth full length album and their second Razor & Tie album to date. The album is the follow-up to the band’s critically acclaimed 2010 release, “Meridional”.
Norma Jean is about to embark on The Summer Slaughter Tour. The tour kicks off July 19th in San Francisco, CA [dates & locations are listed below].
The Atlanta based, Grammy-nominated act has sold over 416,000 combined units in the United States and are esteemed for their aggressively artful sound which has garnered critical praise around the world as evidenced by the overwhelmingly positive press that greeted the band’s previous R&T album “Meridional” which Alternative Press called, “Norma Jean’s first true masterpiece.”. A.P. also named it one of their Top 10 “Essential Albums of 2010” along with naming Cory Brandan “Best Vocalist” in their MVR’s [Most Valuable Rockers] of 2010.
