Jan. 25th: first feedback by le HibOO (in french)



"The Norvins (web)
Ça commence avec The Norvins, un quintet basse-batterie-chant-guitare-orgue, qui pendant 3/4 d’heure va nous offrir du garage de haut niveau, en enchaînant les morceaux quasiment sans interruption (seule une corde cassée ralentira un peu le rythme), avec un chant bien placé, une énergie revigorante, une rythmique efficace, un guitariste qui n’abuse pas de son statut potentiel de guitar-hero, et un orgue qui ne porte pas sur les nerfs… c’est à noter ! Si on cherche des références, on va faire dans le français, pas nécessairement dans la cible d’ailleurs, puisqu’on pense très fort à un mix entre Roadrunners et KingSize, et il s’en faudrait de peu pour qu’on ose affirmer que c’est ce soir la première vraie bonne découverte de 2008 !"

Thanks Le HibOO !
