About Me



Norton are a five piece band consisting of two Danes and three Brits. They are based in London UK and are about to take the country by storm. Their first EP 'Two Weeks of Feast Two Weeks of Famine' released in 2005 on Criminal Records sold extremely well and has given them the stepping stone they needed to kickstart their career. 2006 looks like an exciting year for Norton as they have just recorded their two new singles produced by Greg Haver, (Manic Street Preachers, Super Furry Animals, Tom Jones....) in April to be released in the Autumn, followed by lots of gigs and touring. Norton wants to be your friend. Support them and add them to your site.
