Initially conceived as a father-daughter duo, the Northumberland based alternative rock outfit Not Now Norman have grown into their own with an aggression and passion intrinsic to each of their tracks. ‘Save Me’ sees Taylor Mitchell at her finest, delivering a scintillating vocal performance that harkens back to a style of emotional and melodic grunge arrangements. The electric solo is particularly noteworthy towards the tracks end, adding a speeding and energy driven pulse to the song. In a time where the world seems teetering on the edge closer than ever before, ‘Save Me’ has a message that’s vividly resonant with the times.
It’s cathartic and audacious, loaded with scale and emotional depth thoroughly evoked through sizzling and emotive rock that’s reminiscent of earlier times. Not your average modern rock tune.
