Coastal Virginia and local firebrands Breaking Normz have returned with another captivating sound. The most recent single, "Therapy for a Psycho," is a blistering rocker of an anthem that delves right into the storm of emotional chaos, reminding us that this emerging band still has no intention of playing it safe. Led by fearless artistic frontman David White, Breaking Normz is starting a revolution. With each of its distorted chords and every one of its relentless drum kicks, "Therapy for a Psycho" screams through the noise of conformity that it is not weak to feel broken but also human.
David's raw, unfiltered vocals slice back and forth, cutting between pain, rage, and clarity. Beneath the mess, there's a real openness, and that's what Breaking Normz does well. Rather than obscure mental struggles with metaphors or clichés, the band tackles them head-on and gives a voice to the misunderstood and misdiagnosed. "Therapy for a Psycho" packs the patented punk kick with today's sophisticated sheen. It's grungy and loud, and it's on purpose. Gritty guitars intertwine with thundering drums, forming a tsunami of cathartic and oddly comforting sound. It's the type of song you want to scream along to, not only because it sounds good but because it feels good.
The release is Breaking Normz's campaign to cross lines and spread truth through art. Creating a new song every Thursday, the band is building a community, a space to help outcasts, rebels, and thoughtful people find their rhythm and their rage. "Therapy for a Psycho" isn't for the faint-hearted, and that's kind of the point. So it's a rallying cry for anyone who feels too much, too often, and too loudly. Breaking Normz proves that they're breaking new ground with each new single.
