Here's a new band from South Africa, formed in 2001. From the very first vocal lines you can hear what band has influenced The Narrow: Rage Against The Machine. But being influenced by is not the same as being a copycat. On Selfconscious you can hear an interesting combination of rap, rock, nu-metal, hardcore and electronics. Singer Hanu had training with an Opera choir for four years. His abilities are clear in a song like The Banded. This song is also featured in the music video that you can find on the enhanced part of the CD. This enhanced part also contains four breakbeat tunes. A lot heavier are the songs on the album itself. There are eleven songs, plus a remix of The Banded. It's a music with a lot of variation. Mellow parts and heavy passages, different styles. Songs like The Banded and Gracious Creature are very appealing. The Narrow is a band we hopefully hear more from in the future.
