The Normal Living

The Normal Living is a female-fronted independent rock band based in northern New Jersey. Originally formed in 2010 on the Lower East Side of NYC, TNL explored the shifting landscapes on the edges of the city in its 2013 debut, Less Radio. The band followed up with a full-length release, Signals, in 2017, dissecting the intersections of community, identity, politics, and creativity. For their 2020 release, Say It Out Loud, TNL paired up with producer Chris Badami, who harnessed the growing rock sound of TNL like never before. Strong songwriting paired with Badami’s gift for capturing the heart of a band’s authentic sound resulted in 6 fresh, high-energy songs. Now, TNL & Badami have joined forces again for their latest EP, Pleasant Valley Flood, due out September 22, 2023. Pleasant Valley Flood builds on the sound established in Say It Out Loud, celebrating the intersection of lush heartland rock sounds with storytelling songs. PVF explores themes of change, the passage of time, and the impacts of catastrophe on the story of our lives.
