Originally formed by members from Denmark, Faroe Islands and Iceland, NORРbegan life in 2013 in Odense, Denmark. The band plays melodic progressive metalrock, powered by high octane energy and melancholic soundscapes. A unique style of heavy music with references to many different bands and genres and a dystopic lyrical universe about the human decadence.

NORÐ reflects the nordic feeling with their combination of dreamy melodies, tight riffing and headbanger breaks. Within a year the first set was written and the band started playing live gigs. The crowd really embraced the music from the very beginning and recorded material was in demand.

In 2016 the recording of the debut EP Alpha began at Molten Rock Studio in Odense with Jesper Egeskov Sommerby. By the time the single 'Rosehip Garden' hit the internet in December 2016 there was immediate international interest and the single received airplay in United States, Australia, Spain and other countries. Alpha will be released digitally on March 3rd 2017 via Inverse Records.

When he’s not lecturing on palaeontology at Cornell University, Greg Graffin is the lead singer with Los Angeles punks, Bad Religion, and has been since 1979. Doctor Graffin releases Millport on March 10 via ANTI- Records.

Like his previous solo outings, Millport is a folk inspired album, far removed from his Bad Religion in tone and content. “This feels as exciting to me as when we made the Bad Religion record Suffer,” says Graffin. “Like everything had been leading up to the songs and they just happened totally organically in this short intense burst. I’m really just doing what I did back then, which is write songs that mean something to me and deliver them in a way that is completely honest.”

His third solo album in 20 years, Millport was produced by fellow Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. “It’s the two songwriters from Bad Religion and the rhythm section of Social Distortion, two influential LA punk bands, getting together to do an authentic country rock album, a genre most would think is the absolute antithesis of punk rock,” says Gurewitz. “But I think it sounds great. Both are iconic Southern California genres. It’s like the Laurel Canyon sound played by the kids who were smashing up the clubs a few years later.”
