Background notes
Archive material and source history
Norms formed in New Jersey in the 1980s. Their debut album 'Under the Surface' came out in 1986, featuring the song 'Over 25.' The band's lineup included Lenny Kaye on vocals, Chris Shiflett on guitar, Joe Gittleman on bass, and Kevin Kinney on drums.
They released several albums after that first one, including 'World Without End' in 1988, 'Thirty-Three' in 1991, 'The Longer the Day' in 1994, and 'Who We Are' in 2008. Their music drew from punk and new wave sounds, with guitar-driven arrangements and lyrics that connected with listeners.
At times, Norms faced criticism for their direct approach and had some internal disagreements. But they kept making records for years, and their songs have appeared in films and television shows since then.
