Band of Brothers – The Normas – Find The Groove

Posted on by Editor - the Local

The Normas are not normal. And that is a very good thing. Too polite to be true misfits — yet still walking through life and its endless obstacles with a swagger that carries a hint of menace — the Columbus-based indie/pop-rock quintet is on the cusp of something bigger.
