October 15, 2016

Our favorite Norwegian rockers, NiteRain are at it again! They are hell bent on keeping Rock N Roll alive and thriving.

The song is off their new album, The Memories Uninvited which is available now.

We all, as people, have human conditions to associate things that are going on with us and what we’re focused on at the time. ‘Break Me’ is about somebody helping you pick up the pieces that fall behind whenever you’re broken. Sometimes it takes a lot of people to pick up your pieces, no matter what that is; whether it’s drug [Read More]
