Changing Lives and Minds
Yo Homies and Hommettes, Revolver Rick here, and I’ve got to tell you—I just got back from riding the lightning of Norfrica’s Deadlight Reverb Tour through Greater Florida, and my brain is still doing power chords in my skull. You wanted the details on this industry-changing band, so I did my clean version of a groupie and followed the band across the country to watch them in action and meet the lives they changed. Get this! I also got the chance to do an exclusive interview with the leads of Norfica, and it’s one of my best interviews. I pushed it to the fourth issue of the RippaZine, still available to order, and you can check out all the inside details of the band there. Check it out (cause I get royalties if you do, #transparentaf). Every issue you buy lets me buy more food for Lady Weaver. Do it for her.
I’ve been to a lot of shows. Like, a lot. But what Norfrica’s doing? That’s not just a concert. That’s a spiritual side quest through the riffs of destiny, my buds.
Let’s talk about their new track, “Glorious Death.” It’s not just a banger bop—it’s like battle music for the soul. Every time they played, people responded to it in a good way. I felt it too, but I wasn’t sure if it was just me. So I walked around and asked the concert goers as they were heading out for their experience.
I met this lady outside the venue in Ocala, still in her scrubs from a 12-hour ER shift, and she said:
“I was straight-up exhausted when I got here. I bought these tickets months ago, and it felt like everything happened to keep me from coming, but I went even while I wanted to go home and sleep. Was it worth it? Yes. I can’t even put it into words, but coming here was what I needed to do.”
Over in Gainesville, this dude in a tank top, flip-flops, sat on some stone steps while staring off at the surrounding oak trees. When I asked him his thoughts on the concert, he shared this with me.
“That song? Made me call my ex and apologize. Then I got a gym membership. I don’t even know what’s happening. All the things that made my heart heavy are gone, and I just… I may go back to church.”
Holy cow. Who knew that music could be that life-changing? But wait! There’s more. My personal favorite—this college student in St. Pete, who, with tears in his eyes:
“I came here ‘cause my girlfriend is a big fan and I got tickets for her. But I didn’t even know music could hit my heart like that. The world feels so different now. I ended up proposing to my girlfriend in the middle of one of the songs—she said yes!”
No joke, Norfrica isn’t melting eardrums—they’re uniting hearts, bro. I had to share that special moment with you since the news is all about sharing pain and tragedy, man.
Takhari and Validan told me backstage in my exclusive interview that music is a ritual, and now I totally get it after going to their concert. They hit that first note, and suddenly you’re part of something bigger than yourself.
Now get this—I snagged two versions of “Glorious Death” to share with you fine folks:
- First, there’s the live version straight from their Sarasota show. It’s raw, loud, and full of that wild crowd energy that makes your skin tingle. The footage doesn’t capture what it is like to be there, but I know not everyone can make it in person, so I wanted you to see it one way or another.
- And then there’s a cover by a group of totally mortal fans from some unknown location who were so moved, they recorded their own version. It’s heartfelt and beautifully human. Like and subscribe to these talented folks and share the goodness with others.
Here’s the deal—if Norfrica is playing anywhere near your hometown, get yourself there, no excuses. Borrow a car, get an Except to fly you there, astral project—whatever it takes. Go. Experience it. Let this music into your ears and into your heart, and experience this sensation for yourselves. They got a poster with all their locations they’ll be going to – plan ahead!
And I said this in the exclusive interview, but I’ll say it here – the music industry is in trouble. They can’t control this group, where they go, what they say, how they sing, or who their fans are. And it shows in the waves they’re making across the country. I noticed that one record label tried to buy out an avenue that Norfrica was going to play at, and you know what happened? Norfica played in the park, and it was filled with people who came to see them. You can’t stop this, record labels. But it is fun to watch you try.
Revolver Rick, out.
Be great to each other and get some sunlight. And remember—if there’s a group or person you want me to find, Lady Weaver and I will hunt them down and get you the righteous scoop.
