Norma Jean

Hey Normachine…

We are trying to raise money for a good cause. We know a good couple from our home town that recently lost a child  We are raffling a signed guitar to help them raise money for funeral costs.  If you’d like to contribute, you can donate to our PayPal account at asknormajean@gmail.com (triple check your spelling, Click personal, select GIFT).

Each dollar you donate will enter you to win the guitar.  We will also send you some other goodies too (a poster, NJ picks, Dunlop Strings etc…)

We recommend that you donate more than a dollar since Paypal adds fees. It’s up to you.

2nd and 3rd place will win shirts, picks, posters etc… We’ll make it legit. Please help us by spreading the word to your friends on Twitter and Facebook.

The guitar is an ESP LTD shown here. Donated by Monster Energy Drink.

Donate now on PayPal at asknormajean@gmail.com. Raffle ends this Saturday the 19th. Thanks & Blessings!

So far 2012 is ruling. We had such a good time in Europe and Russia. Thanks to everyone that came out to a show.

We have some big announcements coming very soon.  We can’t wait to tell you everything we are planning. SOON!

The official video for “Bastardizer,” the second single off Meridional, debuts today on Alternative Press.  The video was directed by Brooks Jones and shot at our rehearsal space in Atlanta.  Watch here:

From Cory: We had a lot of fun shooting this video.  It’s really just us in our practice space, where we have written most of our records.  No special effects, just us jamming.  It’s one of our favorite songs from the new record, so it was a perfect choice for the next video.

Get a behind the scenes look at the making of the new video for “Bastardizer,” our second single from Meridional.  Cory shot this footage while filming the video at our rehearsal space in Atlanta.

The official music video was directed by Brooks Jones and will premiere on AltPress.com on Monday, May 2nd.
