After playing in the Indie Rock live scene in the bleak north of The Netherlands, the members of Spiny Norman decided to start a recording project to push the boundaries of their distinctive sound and creativity. The youthful and rowdy delivery of the band started edging towards reflective storytelling and vivid imagery. The trio’s style is rooted in modern alternative rock with influences from the 60’s and 70’s, spiked with a touch of surf rock and psychedelia. After locking themselves in a studio with an arsenal of instruments, microphones and both modern and vintage gear, Spiny Norman has recorded and released an array of diverse tracks that surprises yet never alienates their fanbase. Lead singer Ike’s dark and charismatic vocals, drummer Aron’s blistering drum sound and multi-instrumentalist Sander’s bold arrangements seem to tie everything together somehow.
