Norma Jean is heavy, ripping rock 'n' roll, with throat-stripping vocals that squall over distortion. It's brutal, bombastic and heavy. The five-piece from Atlanta, was originally known as Luti-Kriss (with a few different members) but changed its name due to confusion with the rapper Ludacris of the same city. Maybe the only thing Norma Jean has in common with Ludacris is their affinity for effrontery.
Norma Jean plays Thursday, October 1, at the California Brew Haus, 402 West Ridge Road. 6 p.m. $20. ticketfly.com; normajeannoise.com.
