 Westmeath, Ireland (Top40 Charts/ Distort The Scene) - Branded "Heavy Metals answer to the Smiths" from an early stage, this is probably too narrow a description of the many sides to Raw Novembre. They have heavy moments, but not necessarily metal, and social comments fused with intense lyrics are a vital part of their compositions. Raw Novembre have always wanted to be different, and unique. The music is an expression of self and not a tribute to the sound of others, or the rethinking of someone else's perspective. It takes time to examine anyones artistic output. And opinions will always differ. Those that choose to listen will be rewarded with music that challenges and examines our senses on many levels. Taking an independent route is always a slow process, and perhaps too local and too small. But music is always relevant to those that create it and listen to it. Size doesn't matter. Connecting does. The new album from Raw Novembre, My Bones, is available on the independent label, Distort The Scene. It contains 14 tracks spanning 10 years and includes "The Execution", "Violence" and "Time Bomb". The Execution examines the death penalty and its uselessness today. Violence is a war cry that attacks our weakness and lack of wisdom when resorting to violence. The simple message from Time Bomb ticks over and over. Its about control and destiny. Everyone's actions are part of the whole. Its ready to blow. Where will we go. Take a listen now to rock music that stands apart and on its own. You may like it.
