Namur
The band: Namur
The website: namur.nu
The genre: Awesome
The Rating: XXXX* (4.5 out of 5 fjords. extra fjords due to being from sweden).
You’ve got to check these guys out, they have the best sound I’ve heard in a real long time. But don’t get your hopes up about getting any of their CD’s any time soon. I just got mine in after ordering them 2 weeks ago. Keep reading for all the skinny on your new favorite band.
Originating in Sweden, Namur is a Christian band whose sound is similar Radiohead and Interpol. They’re making waves over in the Swedish music scene, and we can only hope that they’ll make a tsunami big enough to travel cross the pond. The internet might just do that.
I heard about them on the internet radio station CMRadio by chance one day and was instantly hooked. It’s like they have the sound I’ve been looking for in a Christian band for the last year; the itch I just couldn’t scratch, if you will.
What’s that, you want more? How exactly can you listen to them, you ask? Why do you need to listen to them? I already told you they are awesome! Hrmph. Well, the best way for you right now is to go to namur.nu and visit their downloads link. They have full versions of 2 of their songs for download, and you can listen to samples of the rest.
So, until I find the next Big Band ™, I remain your super-cool music guy.

Daniel, look at my little site thingy…look at the musical groups I have listed on the left….Do you have the same taste as an old lady?
Well, I’d have to say the old lady has quite the taste in music. Much to my amazement, I have heard of (and in most cases really like) most of your bands there:
The Flaming Lips – Like most of their stuff. “Oh, Yoshime…they want to eat me.” Makes me laugh every time.
Yeah yeah yeahs – Not too into punk, myself.
Interpol – Actually listening to them right now. Literally. Great group.
Radiohead – Yeah, I absolutely love their music, I just can’t listen to it. Maybe i’ll make a post about it one day, but probably not.
Thanks for the link on your site! A little widdwe, itsy bitsy, tiny winy, suggestion, tho? A few less flames couldn’t hurt. My browser wouldn’t scroll because animating the flames take all the computing power my machine (at work) has.
