Bandcamp of the Day: Pretty Normal
Pretty/Normal is a pretty great young emo band out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. What started out as a songwriting partnership between friends Mat Morin and Aviv Moratz, but eventually expanded into a full band in an attempt to augment the chemistry of their performances, and now includes members Kayla and Quinn Murphy.
